Fruhlingsfest
On Sunday-the S.O. and I went to the Stuttgart Spring Festival in Bad Cannstaat. ( Where the Porsche company is headquartered). Took the train which thus allowed the consumption of mass quantities of German Beer. What’s not to like about that? On the way there, we first stopped in Stuttgart

Well might as well beat the dead horse some more. About the Secret Service "scandal"-which is not a scandal really, but a minor incident that has been blown WAY OUT OF PROPOROTION. The New York Post is printing pictures of some of the girls in question-wonder how much they paid

Back to the Weinachts Markt in the shadow of the great Cathedral. The Fruh beer hall is just 200 meters from there. It was crowded. .21l glasses were only 1.6 Euro. A band was playing on the other side of the square. And Herr Ober kept coming back to our

Its been a bad week for posting. I still need to rebut Curtis, a lot has happened on the national scene, and I have had some personal victories this week. All quite bloggable, but there is a little annoyance called work which keeps getting in the way. I also was
