Random Ramblings
What ought I write about today? Gay marriage is a hot topic, with the bruhaha in New Jersey. Somewhat closer to home for me is the disrespectful handling of some old skulls by some German soldiers. A German blogger asks if the world really expects German soldiers to behave any better than German soldiers.
There was an awful wreck near hear over the weekend. One car stopped when the driver decided he wanted to turn left, but had to wait for the oncoming bus. The second car stopped behind him. The BMW sports that came up as the third car in that lane had a driver who made one too many bad decisioins: he decided to pass the two cars waiting for the bus, crashed head on into the bus, and was dragged 25 meters to the next tree, where the car was transformed instantly into a pile of scrap metal wrapped around human remains. Some people should never have received a driver's license.
Our village's soccer team won their game this weekend, 3:1.
Looking through the classifieds yesterday I saw an ad from someone trying to give away a 25 year old horse. Probably trying to save the disposal costs of the carcass.
I spent years trying to figure out the German politics, as there did not appear to be much difference between the two major parties, the CDU/CSU and the SPD. I finally figured out it was because there isn't a whole lot of difference. It's getting that way in America as well though, with the tax and spend Republicans we have representing us now not being very much different than the tax and spend Demeocrats they were sent there to replace.
Looks like Schumachers going to stay with Ferrari, as Jean Todt's assistant. The scuderia's not going to be what it was, though: Jean Todt's moving to another job away from the racing team, Schumacher's going with him, Ross Brawn is retiring, and the chassis designer is dropping back to a consulting roll. Kimi isn't going to find the team he thought he was joining waiting for him. They're going to need to rebuild the whole team again, with the backbone gone as it is.
