Beautiful Weeds
Saw these dandelions growing at the edge of a vineyard yesterday. Given their location, I guess they are just as much weeds here are they are in Canada. Which is strange when you think about it. People eat the greens and drink a wine made out of dandelion – why does this flower fall into […]
How Many More?
I had decided to skip the anniversary this year, to not re-post anything about the 1970 Kent State killings. Then last night I changed my mind. The deaths of four student protestors at Kent State University in Ohio, USA, at the hands of the American National Guard on May 4, 1970, changed me. More than […]
Against The Law?
Who knew it was against the law? Good thing I’m not French. These days I work from home, so I don’t eat my lunch at my desk. When I’m hungry I walk down the hall to the kitchen, make my self something to eat and sit at the dining room table. But when I worked […]
Around The Maypole
There was a break in the clouds before church this morning, so I dashed out and grabbed a quick photo of the maypole in the market square. Seems a little hazy to me – and the rain started up again right afterward. It’s a sign of spring that I remember from children’s stories of my […]
Just The Facts
Yes, I’ve used this before, more than four years ago. I’m repearting it becasue I am not interested in getting wet. Today’s planned post was the Sulzburg Market Square decked out for May Day, which is today. Or not decked out – there may be no decorations due to the pandemic. I don’t know for […]
Great View At The Top
Time to end the work week with a flashback, some thoughts forma 2015 trip to a most unlikely tourist destination: Iraq. This post was first published in December 2015. The Peshmerga guards ask if we would like some tea. I don’t drink hot drinks, but I know it would be culturally insensitive to refuse such […]
So How Many?
can you figure it out? How many lawyers does it take to change a lightbulb? Such number as may be deemed necessary to perform the stated task in a timely and efficient manner within the strictures of the following agreement: Whereas the party of the first part, also known as “The Lawyer,” and the party […]
What Are You Afraid Of?
I attached this image to a draft post a couple of months ago – then never finished the post. Last night I looked at it again, and today you get the picture but not the words that went with it. That is because the words really had nothing to do with the graphic. I have […]
Dreaming Of Athens
One day we will be able to travel again. Where do you want to go then? Athens is high on my list. I was there for half a day in 2019, which is definitely not long enough. I visited the Acropolis, Mars Hill and a museum. I figure I need another week, just to scratch […]
Starting With A Smile
I had a post ready to go for today, but it was about government ineptitude. I thought it was perhaps a little depressing, so we’ll save it for another day. The next option was a post about government censorship. I probably should get to that one soon – before they manage to censor it. But […]
