  ‘Next year I’m going to be 80 years old. My car will be 20 years old. Together we’ll be 100. We’re going to drive to Cairo.’ 
    
  ‘And what route are you going to take?’ 
    
  ‘I have no idea. I think I’ll keep to the right.’ 
    
  When 80-year-old Julia Albu calls in to her favourite radio show with a zany, half-baked idea, she has no idea that it will lead her to the adventure of a lifetime. 
  From helping push a 30-year-old Toyota bakkie up a precipitous mountain pass in Malawi to being ‘adopted’ by the riotous ex-pat South African community in Dar es Salaam and being fed mildly hallucinogenic ‘herbs’ by her Ethiopian driver-guide, nothing deterred 80-year-old Julia Albu from her quest to drive through Africa from the Cape to Cairo. 
  	She and her 20-year-old Toyota Conquest, Tracy – a personality in her own right – travelled through 10 African countries, from South Africa to Egypt (and beyond). Julia was accompanied by a series of companions who added texture to her travels: three of her four grown-up children, her son-in-law, and at least one person who began as a complete stranger and ended up as a friend for life. 
  	Reminiscing about her long and interesting life along the way, and maintaining a bright and upbeat outlook regardless of the circumstances, Julia proves that you’re never too old to tackle that bucket list.

  Peru - A Historical and Economic...

  Peru, a nation of remarkable diversity, is a land where history and economy intertwine to shape its identity. Situated on the western coast of South America, it is home to towering Andean peaks, vast coastal deserts, and the lush Amazon rainforest. These geographic variations have influenced its people, cultures, and economic activities for centuries. From ancient civilizations to modern industries, Peru’s journey has been one of resilience, adaptation, and transformation. Understanding its past and present is key to appreciating the forces that have shaped the country’s economic and social landscape.  
  The history of Peru is as rich and complex as its terrain. Long before Spanish colonization, the region was home to advanced societies that flourished through agriculture, trade, and engineering. The Inca Empire, with its vast network of roads and innovative agricultural terraces, stands as one of the greatest pre-Columbian civilizations in the Americas. However, the arrival of the Spanish in the 16th century marked a turning point. Colonization led to profound economic and political changes, as the Spanish exploited Peru’s vast silver mines and established a rigid social hierarchy. This period set the foundation for many of the economic structures that persisted for centuries.  
  Peru’s economic evolution has been shaped by both internal and external forces. Following independence in the 19th century, the country faced political instability and economic challenges, struggling to define its national identity. The exploitation of natural resources remained central to the economy, from guano and rubber in the 19th century to copper and gold in the modern era. Industrialization and foreign investment played key roles in Peru’s economic development, but these also led to periods of inequality and social unrest.

  PREPARE TO BE BEAKED BY THE MAJESTIC EAGLE OF HISTORY 
   
    
   
  Most of us are familiar with the greatest hits and legendary heroes of US history. In George Washington Is Cash Money, Cory O'Brien, author of Zeus Grants Stupid Wishes, does away with the pomp and circumstance and calls America's history what it is: one long, violent soap opera. In his signature clever, crude, and cuss-ridden style, O'Brien reminds us that: 
   
    
    
  ● Teddy Roosevelt stopped bullets with his manly chest 
   
   
   
  ● Harriet Tubman avoided danger by having prophetic seizures. 
   
   
   
  ● Joseph Smith invented Mormonism by staring into a hat full of rocks. 
   
   
   
  ● Billy the Kid was finally defeated by the smell of fresh bacon. 
   
   
    
  And there's plenty more Star Spangled stupidity where that came from.
