And, yes, it is an amazing life!<br /><br /><b>musingegret:</b> I love these sort of links which come about. Funnily enough I'd just been reading about the Mau Mau following what I read about Obama's grandfather. It seems he alleged that the British tortured him at the time of the Mau Mau troubles. Can't blame that on Mow Mow though! <br /><br />Mike.67 Not Out (Mike Perry)http://www.67notout.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3569682519423498805.post-76181548593449223812010-06-11T14:21:09.034+01:002010-06-11T14:21:09.034+01:00My recent coincidence/synchro just left me scratch...My recent coincidence/synchro just left me scratching my figurative head---I think it was the lightly teasing/trickster force at work. <br /><br />A feral cat has been coming around and playing with out adopted/domesticated/vaccinated/neutered ferals. He has a weird voice and does not 'mee-ow' but makes a 'mow-mow' (rhymes with cow-cow) sound. We started referring to him as Mow-Mow. On Sunday afternoon I was joking about his name reminding me of an historical event in colonial Africa called the Mau Mau Uprising, but that I'd have to google the phrase as I didn't know much about the particulars.<br /><br />I never got around to the research but woke up Tuesday morning to an early (7:30 AM) movie playing on Turner Classics called "Something of Value", made in 1957 with Rock Hudson and Sidney Poitier and the subject: Mau Mau Rebellion in Kenya (!!).<br /><br />I'd never seen the movie, much less ever read about it.<br /><br />http://www.tcm.com/tcmdb/search.jsp?methodName=allwwwSearch&keyword=something+of+valuemusingegrethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10000667855500413032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3569682519423498805.post-24852301242751982402010-06-10T22:20:23.013+01:002010-06-10T22:20:23.013+01:00Interesting post.
