This is among the saddest shop windows I’ve ever seen.

For increased stability, the regular Dutch traffic sign has an open rim at its back, which is a convenient cradle for fire-crackers. Small fire-crackers can well use a sound board, don’t they? –and the big ones ... well, their effect is just amazing! To the approximately $100,000,000 the Dutch people spent on pyrotechnics, last New Year’s Eve, should be added the costs of (public and private) property destroyed.

Last Friday, the day before our return to Germany. It was cold, wet, and windy. I wonder why so few people wanted to join us on our walk along the seaside. Here you can see only half of the sand; the rest came out of our shoes back home.

...they’re gonna walk all over you. Perhaps there’s some fancy Eastern philosophy behind all this, but I can only relate it to a major work of the American philosopher Lee Hazlewood.
