Fast car and Botswana

[joemac]

Do you know the Tracy Chapman song "Fast Car"

The opening verse goes :

You got a fast car

I want a ticket to anywhere

Maybe we make a deal

Maybe together we can get somewhere

Anyplace is better

Starting from zero got nothing to lose

Maybe we'll make something

And later in the song, it goes :

We gotta make a decision

We leave tonight or live and die this way

Well, my folks have finally left Zim. They haven't gone far, just to Bots,
but still, it's quite a big move, with friends and furniture,
life and loves left behind.My old man has been in Zim since 1975ish, and mum was born there.

The place they have gone to looks awesome though, and if anyone had to leave Zim, this would be a
good alternative, but is is still a very sad day for everybody.

Wishing your folks best of luck for a new beginning. At least they are staying in Africa and not too far away from home.

My friends moved to Bots some months ago, to Francistown, and they love it. They wallow in the feeling of peace and freedom, never mind the shops and electricity. She has still not stopped talking about their local supermarket and garden centres.... lol.

Yeah, I know it is still Africa and all, but it ain't home, and I am sad and happy for them all at the same time
