More specifically, Somalia is a suburb of Buffalo and might bring some revitalization to upstate New York.

This is because of elections, held at the airport. I'm not sure if the world knows that my love of African politics is matched only by my love of African air traffic control but either way, it is what it is.

Buy a nice Caravan we can fly it around Africa. Checkout airports, and visit towers, drink Coke from a bottle. Do some airborne safaris. It will be great as long as we don't get killed.

If it was just the two of us you could just get an old 172 but if I'm going somewhere with lions I want the wife along.

One of my first memories of living in the US was seeing a road sign for Cairo and Troy. I think there was another old world name on the sign, but I can't remember it.
