It would seem the Leute have gesphrochen: The people of Baden-Württemberg have spoken: In a referendum on Sunday voters backed state funding for the controversial €4.5-billion Stuttgart 21 rail project. 58% of voters voted in favor of the project-ensuring it would go forward. The opponents wasted no time updating their

The S.O. and I went into Stuttgart tonight to visit the Weinachts Markt. It had only opened on the 23rd-so every thing was new and fresh-and with it being a Saturday night, it was more than a little crowded. It was made even more so because of the fact that

The science project is holding together (for now)-and so we took it to go down to the local Weinachts Markts. Not as big as the ones in central Stuttgart-but more a homey feeling in them. We went back and forth to two, one in a town near where we will

Today was the first day I had to scrape ice off the windshield-before driving to work. I am quite sure it won’t be the last. The consolation was that for the first time in 5 days-there was no fog in either the morning or afternoon. The fog is what is

Concerning Admiral Clingan. The Navy is busier than snot-but good guy or bad-Admiral Clingan and the rest of the flag leadership are guilty of crossing a line that never should have been crossed in the first decade of the 21’st century. He is now in a position where he sanctions

I am no longer an active commenter over at Lex’s place-but I still take the time to peruse his scribblings, if for no other reason than to try to grasp the thinking of the “conservative” class-and help to codify where and how their thinking has gone off the rails. I would love to

When it comes to women-I still have a quantifable case of what can be described, and is written about, of “Yellow Fever“. However, I think its important to be broadminded-especially when you are living in Europe:
