Seriously

This is not a joke.

Rotterdam

I’m on my way from Rotterdam to Weimar as I write this. International InterCityExpress Train 125 goes from Amsterdam to Frankfurt Hbf, via Utrecht and a variety of other places. Right now I’m facing backwards and the scenery suggests we’re still in The Netherlands, although we ought to be crossing into Germany sometime in the […]

The Dollar

Memo

To: President Bush, Alan Greenspan; important people From: Adam Lederer; citizen, expat Date: 20 November 2004 Re: The Dollar

To Whom It May Concern:

Thank you for not changing the weak dollar policy.

I need blue jeans, a pair of clubbing shoes, a couple new shirts. I’m looking forward to my upcoming visits because […]

Amsterdam

Last night I took the train up to Amsterdam, an hours ride north of Rotterdam on the train. At either end, I took public transportation to connect to and from the train. In Rotterdam, that consisted of a Metro ride and a tram ride (including a quick stop at the hotel), and in Amsterdam, I […]

Click

How could I not click on “Puppy love: Woman breastfeeds dog“?

Stooopid here.

I done been stoopid.

My foot has been hurting now for about a month and I’ve ignored it.

Mistake.

Today I limped my way across Rotterdam.

Positive side-effect: I am working a lot and being productive.

Possible negative side-effect: Friday night party in the hotel room.

Happy Birthday!

Hey everybody… I have an announcement:

Today is CQ’s birthday!

Happy Birthday CQ!

I think everybody should take a minute or so to write him a happy birthday note in the comments!

(Randomly, Somebody knew when the birthday was, but didn’t realize how soon it was, so snail mail greetings will come slightly late. Please […]

It’s just a number!

CQ again with a short entry for you Hoosiers. Apparently the interstate highway extension planned to run adjacent to Bloomington is immoral. The congressman from Indiana’s 8th Congressional district is pushing for a number change to I-63.

So I guess the current interstate which will become a through interstate south of Indianapolis is just supposed […]

Weimar – Rotterdam

I have to restrain myself. I suspect that if I were to write out detailed trip reports about my travels, some of it would get rather repetitive rather quickly. There are only so many ways to describe the train ride from Weimar to Frankfurt: the first time one does it, one looks out the window […]

Future and Present Travel

Today is a traveling day-I am off to Rotterdam, and like two ships passing in the night, my flatmate will be traveling from The Netherlands to the flat. We’ll probably close at 260 kilometers an hour, somewhere between Frankfurt and Köln.

In other words, I won’t be posting much today, but I will have short […]
