Haha, years ago, I worked for a company that installed satellite systems in countries with some very remote areas.
You drive 300 miles on rain-soaked clay “roads”, a large truck is turned over blocking the road. The driver is okay and camped out in a makeshift hammock in the undercarriage of the truck until somebody comes along with a vehicle big enough to pull his truck back on to it’s feet. Or at least until the next passerby gets to the city to send help. So now you have to go back 70 miles and cross the river on a ferry operated by an old man wearing a Michael Jordan Bulls jersey, cranking the ferry across on a rope wound between two 55 gallon drums and accepts batteries, maybe a radio, candy bars and clothes for payment.
After making up the lost 70 miles and adding another 100, you come to another crossing to get back on the right side of the river. Similar deal, maybe the last ferry operator’s cousin, who knows. Eventually you come to a village with mud and straw huts and little kids running around (in more basketball shirts of various NBA players) and at the center of the village sits a small concrete building which serves as the constable’s office. Looming behind the building is a 700 foot tower. Back inside the building is a 26” Mitsubishi TV tuned in to CNN...
