Zimbabwe orphans

On my walk today. I see the local school is collecting money for "Zimbabwe orphans". So great a real feel good cause. I'm typing this on my phone so bear with me. Anyone remember Robert Mugabe and the millions he is still looting that country for?  How many expensive birthday parties he has given himself?  Yet some silly suburban kids and their teachers thing a bake sale for Zimbabwe orphans is a good idea.

How about burning down their embassy?  Too bad it's so far away. In the mean time get your clueless representatives to stop sending them some money. Let Mr Mugabe have his own bake sale next time his birthday comes around

I've been looking at some marvelous pictures from the Hillary expedition up Mt. Everest.  I think they summited in 1953 making this the 50th anniversary.  Great shots from the days before tourist climbing of the world's highest peak.  Clicking through to the last picture of Hillary on top holding various flags on his ice ax.  Then my browser hangs waiting for www.linkedin.com.

Sorry, but I'm not interested in linkedin's services right now.  I'm trying to enjoy some great images of a historic event.  I see this sort of thing all the time.  Between google analytics and linkedin and facebook and twitter, I apparently have to connect to everything in order to to see what I want.

All you advertising  vendors and personal information gatherers can, well, just go to hell.  If you want to see the summit photo, please use this link.
