Reinforcing Stereotypes
A worldwide survey was conducted by the UN. The only question asked was: “Would you please give your honest opinion about solutions to the food shortage in the rest of the world?” The survey was a huge failure. In Africa they didn’t know what “food” meant. In Eastern Europe they didn’t know what “honest” meant. […]
This is Tuesday, Right?
I’ve never been a fan of moving, and in the next couple of weeks I have to do it twice. That is what happens when your lease expires before the first available flight. I’ve been frantically trying do work in some packing when I’m not actaully working. It becomes more complicated when you aren’t taking […]
Stressed Out?
The world seems a little stressed these days. I don’t know why – it isn’t as if we are doing anything; we’re all staying at home. I’ve noticed my stress levels on the rise, and it has nothing to do with COVID-19, except incidentally. Fortunately, it is circumstantial and should be short-term. Another month or […]
The Scam
One of the things I have missed during my stay in Germany is the telephone scammers. I don’t know if it is because Germans are too smart to be taken in, or the crooks don’t speak the language, but in four years I haven’t received one call from a dubious person trying to separate me […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Unintended Messaging
It wasn’t intentional – but those who read the message couldn’t have known that. Which means they either laughed or thought I was a dangerous idiot. When we first moved to Germany we had no vehicle. Which would not have been an issue of we had lived in a large city, but public transit in […]
Doing The Traffic Math
Municipal politicians in Ottawa frequently complain that the provincial government in Toronto has no idea how to find Ottawa on a map. This week the province’s premier proved that in dramatic fashion. Rob Ford announced new COVID restriction measures, including checkpoints at provincial borders. No-one is allowed to enter the province without a good reason. […]
