The weather in Germany these past two days has been glorious, in sharp contrast to the misery that is going on across the Atlantic in the land of my birth. I’ve got plenty to say on the selfishness and cruelty that the orange asshole is inflicting on America, but as they say, there is always time for bad news. Good news comes in such short doses these days-we have to take it when we can get it.
Volkswagon has finally made good on the buyback required of it out of the diesel emissions scandal, we are not operating with just one car. As a result, I rented a BMW for a couple of weeks and the S.O. and I decided to get our money’s worth out of it. So on Saturday, we drove up to Wurzburg which is about 2 hours Northeast of Stuttgart. The leaves are in full turn in Germany so the scenery coupled with the good weather made for a wonderful from the road as we zipped along at 140 KPH.
It was even better when we actually got to Wurzburg.
These are pictures of the Residenz-the seat of government when Wurzburg was a part of the Confederation of the Rhine. Except the brown church-it is a cathedral in the center city. (Click to see proper size).
And today we went out hiking near where we live. As you can see it was good weather again-and Pumpkin season.
Good days are few and far between in these days of abject terror created by people’s selfishness and stupidity. One has to enjoy them.
