I took both of the photos today–one in the morning and the other in the afternoon. One made me grouchy and angry, the other amused me.
The driver of this car, WE EV 37, this morning was too important and in too big a rush to park in an actual parking […]
He wants you to vote CDU.
Local elections are coming up in Thüringen and serious campaigning has begun.
There are at least two strange things about the election.
First, and through no fault of the people who picked the dates, the election is June 7th, a mere two days after Obama visits. I suspect […]
Charles T. Payne, US Soldier during WWII in Thüringen
