<p> Good Morning Everyone,</p><p>well, I did catch some sleep last night, but I still feel exhausted. It has cooled down a little, today´s high will "only" be at 90 F. Compared to the lower 70´s F we usually have at this time, these temps are a killer for us. A/C is widely unknown in our region [sigh] </p><p>Chloe, I´ll have a coffee and a breakfast bagel, please.</p><p>It is sad to hear, that the US are heading down the same way as Europe. For me, the US have always been the "Land of the Free", but it seems, as if the lack of respect, tolerance, and responsibility of some just leads to the same jungle of laws and regulations, as we have over here. Each new law curtails the personal freedom, without having the necessary effect. It only causes new laws to follow... [xx(] We just grin and bear it. Germany does not have much of a history of rebellion. The German revolution of 1848 lasted only for a short term, until they called the king back. It took WW I to get rid of our monarchy, and without the help of the Allied Forces in WW II, we Germans would not have been able to oust Hitler and his cronies. Now we have a lady chancellor with a proven communist background, in the guise of a conservative and democratic person, turning this country into what Stalin and his East-German counterparts failed to achieve - a truly socialistic country, with socialistic people living a socialistic life, looking all the same, driving the same car, having the same "clean and correct" opinions. I better stop ranting...</p><p>There are times, when I have the feeling, that there is no place in the world for Petra and me, where we could have a frugal, but peaceful life - that is about all we want. If we fail to find that place, it´ll become time to make way for other people.</p><p> You all have a good day!<br></p>
