Where are the Powell's going?

I'm rearranging the blog today to get rid of too many gadgets and help it load faster. This has been posted before as informational gadget to the left. Here is the information in 'post' form:

You're not alone if you didn't know where Namibia is. It wasn't an independent nation until 1990, so when we 40-year-olds were in school, it was called South West Africa and was administered by South Africa. Before 1915, it had been a German colony, and was called German South West Africa. My mom found National Geographics from the 1980's that have stories 'pre-Namibia.' Evidence of our changing world.

See our previous post about 'how we got to this point' to answer the question, "Why are the Powell's leaving the US?"

Background about the Namibian flag:

The main colours were taken from the flag of SWAPO (South West African People's Organization), the most important liberation movement. That flag was adopted in 1971 and comprises diagonal stripes of blue-red-green, the most important colours of the Ovambos, the largest ethnic population. The national flag combines the colors of the South West African People's Organization (SWAPO), which liberated Namibia in 1990, and those of the Democratic Turnhalle Alliance, another Namibian political party. The gold sun, which is similar to that on the flag of Taiwan, represents life and energy. Red, white, and blue were the colors of the Democratic Turnhalle Alliance, and blue, red, and green the colors of SWAPO.
