Latest sign of the hyperinflationary apocalypse

Recently

• Georgian detourI've been dispatched to Georgia to help my colleague Tom Lasseter cover the ongoing conflict here, so my posts will be less regular than usual.
• Nairobi's renewed museumThe Nairobi National Museum had been closed for repairs for three years, from virtually the moment I arrived in Kenya. It finally reopened last month after a $14 million renovation funded by the European Union. I took a walk through the new complex this morning and came away impressed.
• Brand recognition in AddisEvery time I arrive in Addis Ababa, I pass the Denver Cafe, a coffee shop located in a strip mall on the road out of the airport. Incongruously for a country that cares little for American football, the sign features the logo of the Denver Broncos, which happens to be my favorite NFL team. But I'm always on the way to some hotel or appointment, so I've never actually set foot in the place.
• 'Diary of a terrorist'To mark today's 10th anniversary of the bombings of the U.S. Embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, Kenya's Daily Nation newspaper this week has been publishing what it claims are excerpts from the diary of the man that the FBI says planned those attacks and others: Fazul Abdullah Mohammed. The newspaper says the diary, written in Arabic, was found on a laptop carried by Fazul's wife in January 2007, when she was arrested on the Kenya-Somalia border.
