All of us have been a bit confused as to how people are sustaining themselves in these villages. In several places people are getting no help from the government, they have no jobs, and they grow no food, but they spend tons of money on cell phones and go to town a lot. So Jessica nad I talked about how they could be making money, and the answer literally walked right past us at the gas stations. A guy was smoking pot in broad daylight while pumping gas. We believe Jane should go to NASA and tell them that we have completely figured out how people are adapting to climate change in Southern Africa. They are growing and / or smoking pot. A hypothesis we have dubbed Shakowee Wowee.
Thanks for the million NASA. It was well spent!
FYI: Jing and I later confirmed our hypothesis while doing training samples. Let's just say traipsing through the bush becomes totally different when you stumble across a grow house. Also, so people don't think we are unsafe. We were given permission to work in the region where the pot was located!
