Looked nice from inside the window, but on the outside, things were a little chilly. It was time to break out the baggies and instant toe warmer.
She still complained of frostbite after 2 hours, I think it’s the hideous socks.
I usually don’t rant about other Americans, but who else would be littering the road with [...]

Why does St. Louis have 5 Trader Joes yet Denver has none?
Why do conservatives think they have anything useful to offer when it comes to economic stimulus?
On the international front, had lunch today with Americans at a Chinese restaurant in Germany celebrating a Korean’s last day at work.

This photo sums up the highlight of the weekend.
Finally got the pro status on Wii tennis. Where does one go from here?

Wednesday our car was finally delivered. That morning I was notified that the car (Saturn Vue) was 1.5meters tall and incurred a 100 euro charge, payable to the driver.
