<p>Good Morning, Folks!</p> <p>Just like our friend Galaxy, I did not catch much sleep this night. I woke up after only 3 hours and could not go back to sleep again for a (long) while. It´s just too hot & sticky.</p> <p>[quote user="galaxy"]How has the stroke affected your speach in any language? [/quote]</p> <p>My speech was affected a little in the first days after the stroke, but recovered quickly. It´s mainly my left leg troubling me now. The left arm and hand are quite OK, though quite shaky. PT helps to a degree to improve, but full recovery is written in the stars.It is like it is...</p> <p>"Plandampf" - the German word describing the use of steam power to pull regular scheduled trains. Not only a single train, but nearly all trains in a selected region and for 2 to 3 days! That´s quite an event, requiring a heck of an organisation and logistics. An effort worthwhile - nothing brings back the good old days of steam better!</p> <p>Today´s video shows "Plandampf" freight trains in the Werra Valley around Eisenach in Thuringia. At 5.35 min you can see Wartburg Castle - that´s where Martin Luther hid out to escape prosecution. He used the time of his stay there to translate the Holy Book into German.</p> <p><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/zCH_YQLl78E" width="425" height="350"></iframe></p> <p>Enjoy!</p> <p>Have a great weekend!</p>
