Observations

 1.  I sat and watched a 30-minute piece of N-TV news this morning, while sipping coffee in Wiesbaden.  The big three news 'dumps'?  (1) Energy chaos, (2) the forest fires in Brandenburg, and (3) the German Agricultural Minister (Green Party) trying to sell people on eating less meat....to save the environment.  

Yeah, it's a pretty crazy time to be watching the news and trying to assemble facts.  I'll admit over the fires.....it's just awful dry (my yard has been dead since late May).  On the energy mess.....it goes in five different directions, with all kinds of hype over nuke energy or the approaching dire events.

2.  Some kind of weird fight erupted on a Wiesbaden (my town) city bus.  Kid gets tangled up with a threat or two at the bus-stop.....he boards a bus to escape the opposing idiot.  The opposing idiot also boards the bus, and then uses pepper spray at the kid, and hits another passenger or two with the spray.  All hell breaks loose.....bus stops, and the pepper-spray idiot escapes.  

There's hardly a day that passes when weird stuff like this or assaults....occur in the city now.

I'm with you on the dead grass. We are not allowed to water it for fear of, again, running out of water.
