While staying in Bonn, we drove up to Cologne. We visited the famous cathedral located on the West Bank of the Rhine River there: The cathedral is huge. Construction of Cologne Cathedral began in 1248 and took, with interruptions, until 1880 to complete– a period of over 600 years. The

And they say it is supposed to snow here today-in Alabama! The S.O. got a flat tire yesterday-following which I got a panicked phone call from her about what to do about it. Somehow telling her, “Just change the tire and put on the spare”-did not seem to appease her.
