There, don’t tell me that I don’t keep people up to date on what’s really important. Over in Kenya, there’s a freakin’ gold rush! A a village in Kenya has turned into the country’s newest gold rush hotspot. Thousands of fortune seekers have descended on Cheparor village in West Pokot County, Kenya.
From the pictures the BBC was showing this morning, it looks a bit chaotic and messy, but maybe that’s what Africa looks like normally, I wouldn’t really know. Three boys reportedly discovered gold in Cheporor village, Kanyarkwat, West Pokot County, triggering a rush of people from Kenya and neighboring Uganda in search of the precious metal.
The discovery, made on Saturday, August 1, has turned the once quiet village into a hive of activity, with an estimated 10,000 people arriving within three days hoping to strike gold. No word if anyone has actually made a fortune from this discovery yet.
I know this is a slack and lazy journal today. I went to the Home Depot this morning and bought a whole bunch of zip ties. They were on sale. You never know when you’re gonna need a zip tie. Other than that, it’s very quiet here. The diggers have moved down to the end of the street, and it’s almost eerily silent apart from the occasional vehicle going past.
The Wall Street Journal is this morning reporting that “Gross U.S. debt has surpassed $40 trillion, a new milestone in the country’s struggle to control its finances.” “Publicly held debt—now approaching World War II levels at about 100% of the country’s annual GDP—was just 31.5% of GDP in 2001 after four years in which the government ran budget surpluses.” Approaching WWII levels? Since we appear to be approaching WWIII, it seems appropriate, don’t you think?
In other news, because of melting ice in the North sea, the whales are having a feeding frenzy, now that new parts of the ocean have opened up. This is of course, all because Post Malone and Christy Lee have just got engaged.
Breaking News! Apparently the sea ice is not melting because of Post Malone but because Prince Harry and Megan are moving back to the UK. These major events have far reaching consequences.
Good Day
Watch this if you have the stomach for it. I don’t.
This is pretty much the same thing
