 Guten Morgen meine Freunde (Good Morning Galaxy),what a night! The first night with quite comfortable temperatures and what happens? It is the annual "County Fair" , connected to the annual "Schützenfest". Those of you, who have been to Germany, may know this. In the early 1600´s, each town had its own militia to defend the town against the attacks of marauding Swedish troops, who were fighting the Catholic army. That war lasted 30 years and destroyed much of Germany, killing 25 % of the population. Though not really a militia anymore, these "Schützengilden" (shooters guild) remained as a kind of folkloric club - a good excuse for drinking gallons of beer! Each year, there is a big party, with an oompah-band, a fair, and a lot of noise! I maybe caught only 2 hours of sleep [xx(]Chloe, make that two IV-bags of dark roast coffee, please!Todd - a big [#welcome] to Sean, Shawn, Shaun and congratulation to you on Grandchild # 5! John - please extend Petra´s and my belated [bday] to Kris! I see that Chloe is coming with the IV-bags - I´ll stay in the corner booth until the coffee is in my veins!
