The icy fog has not lifted up until now and it won´t for the rest of the day, as we have less than 30 minutes of daylight left. The blanket of ice is still around, covering nearly all of Germany except the Northsea coastal reion and islands. Countless accidents have happened and quite a number of people got killed and injured. The "facility manager" better known as janitor, who usually takes care of the buildings here, did not show up to clear the walk way. Let´s assume he just could not get here by car ... (he lives around the corner)! Garry, German cars are not what they used to be. Aside from cheating emission control systems, their quality suffers from having become over complex systems that no one really is in command anymore. Mechanical failures happen rarely, but with the number of systems having to interact these days, it´s the lack of complete system inegration testing leading to breakdowns. Of course, squeezing the last cent out of part suppliers led to badly engineered and built components. As I said in my previous post, we´d be better of looking back at what we already had, but lost in our endeavor of ever bigger, faster, greater but not necessarily better. I still wish we would have a simple yet efficient electric vehicle instead of that gas powered, high maintenace requiring car. The cars available are too expensive and loaded with unnecessary gimmicks! I wouln´t mind having a remake of a Stanley Steamer as well!
