Last evening, while surfing the channels, I came upon an hour long documentary about the formation and evolution of the Great Rift Valley in northeast Africa.
It started with the dawn of time and came through the eons up to the present time. It showed how the great lakes of Africa were formed and changed over the years as ice ages came and went. The evolution of plants and animals was also very interesting and how everything depends on everything else for survival.
The program ended with speculation that as the rift continues to evolve, one day, very far in the future, the great horn of Africa may eventually become an island.
This is television at its best when it informs and educates.
Before I became acquanted with Dave here I didn't really have that much interest in Africa, but now I do.
The chances that most of us here will ever meet in person are slim, but it helps to share and know something about where we live.
Just think about it. If we ever did meet in one place, wouldn't that be a party!!!!!!!!!!!!
