A La Carte (September 13)

Good morning from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, where I’ve stopped just briefly as I make my way to Johannesburg, South Africa and, from there, to Kitwe, Zambia. I’ve got lots of miles still to go!

The Sun Is Blotted from the Sky

Men of great physical strength have sometimes carried outrageously heavy burdens—six hundred pounds, seven hundred pounds, eight hundred.

Load me up!” With confidence they have gripped the bar and with great straining and groaning they have lifted…
