Thoughts For Monday
I thought I should say something inspiring to start the work week – and this is what Google suggested. I figure computers rule our lives anyway, so I went with it. Not that I endorse its message completely. It seems somewhat dated. I agree we should focus on what is important, though it would help […]
The Buckle Church – A Replay
I thought today perhaps we’d take a look back to the days when people could travel, and could attend church services. You remember what this time last year was like? Neither do I. But I did remember this post from six years ago, and thought it would be nice to share again today. Anything free […]
How To Vaccinate
When are you getting the COVID-19 vaccine? Have you been told? Does it seem like it is taking too long? I am way down the list. It will be summer when I get the shot. Doesn’t seem to make any difference whether I get it in Canada or Germany, I’m not a high priority. I’m […]
Does It Matter?
The second impeachment trial of Donald Trump is underway in the US Senate, and all the experts are saying he will be acquitted. Not because he isn’t guilty, but because most Senators will vote according to political loyalties rather than the evidence presented. Because of that I haven’t been following the proceedings beyond reading the […]
The Curfew Ends – For Now
I can go out tonight if I like, though I don’t why I would want to. There’s nothing to do here. A court has overridden the 8 p.m. to 5 a.m. curfew imposed by the state of Baden-Wurttembeg that has been in place for a couple of months. Apparently someone saw reason. Scientifically there is, […]
Government Spending
I wrestled with several topics for today’s post. I have a number of topical ones that are not quite ready – and I was feeling lethargic Tuesday, so they still aren’t ready. Looking online, I didn’t see anything funny enough to share here, at least not today. Instead a look back, a repeat of a […]
Wanna Buy A Car?
Those who aren’t sports fans watch the Super Bowl for the commercials. It is the most watched television event of the year, with advertisers paying millions of dollars for a short spot and putting their most creative advertising minds to work on the product. As a Canadian, I rarely watch the game – and if […]
It Seems So Long Ago…
Remember when people gathered to share food and drink and good times together? When we were out in public without masks and not worried about the proximity of others? Do you think it will ever be like that again? The hospitality industry has been devastated by this pandemic. I have seen suggestions that between a […]
Super Bowl LV
Forget the Roman numerals. There’s a big game tonight, but I probably won’t be watching. The championship game of American professional football starts well after midnight, my time. Which is a bit late to stay up for a spot I don’t usually follow, even if this year I have been keeping track, more or less. […]
On The Way Up (Or Down)
As you can imagine, there is more than one access point to Heidelberg’s Philosopher’s Way. Possibly the most popular is the Schlangenweg or Snake Path. I’m assuming it was named for the wall snakes that are known to the area – but I didn’t see any. Or maybe because it snakes up the hill. In […]
