Wow - a big gap since my last post. A lot has happened since then: I've crossed the atlantic 4 more times. Toured the caribbean on a big boat and discovered new areas of the world that were better than I could have ever expected.
It's labor day here in Germany (and the rest of the world - except the US). Made me remember the good old days when the nightly news would show the Russian premier watching the mighty Russian army parade their painted piles of rust through the streets of Moscow. The thought that those scary missles were pointed straight towards our hearts was a sobering thought. But at least the threat could be seen, could be edified. Any of you remember?
Underscoring this flashback are the recent reports in the news here that the boogey man is back. The latest here in Europe is that American interests (and Americans) are being targeted by the un-seen terroristas. Ahh, makes me think back to the late '80s when I was looking under my car every morning to make sure somebody wasn't trying to get me. How silly was that??!!!
But back to May Day: They say you never step in the same river twice. I'm not so sure anymore. Can't you just picture Putin wearing a silly hat and a heavy overcoat reviewing the troops as they march with their painted rust through Red Square? This time around, I'm not bothering to look under my car.
