The silly thing went off again, irritatingly. For some reason my cell phone refuses to change the ring tone, no matter how many times I reset the thing. Sometimes I call the beast my crystal ball. After all, it often brings me news. News that many others just are not privy to. It could be the location of a secret bug hatch that sends trout into a frenzy. Other times it can tell me strange and wondrous tales about Elk migration. Then there are the times when it rings, and people that I have known many years from far away places tell me what is going on in places far removed from the tranquil settings of the rocky mountains.
That is precisely what was happening this time, and the news was not very good. Not that there has been a lot of good news coming out of Africa lately. It seems that a not so religious Islamic radical became intoxicated, and spilled the beans on an up coming test for our new President. It will be a test that will seriously challenge his leadership abilities. Al Qaeda will make a major offensive across the horn of Africa, and into some central parts of the continent as well. Obama has stated that Osama’s days are numbered in so many words. We will see just how well he handles playing hardball with the big boys. This is all supposed to happen right after the inauguration.
I closed the crystal ball, and thought to myself. Africa will have a lot more to worry about in the very near future.
