Just Things You Notice

 1.  If you've walked into a German grocery in the past month....you kinda notice that spaghetti (of any variety) is higher.  I watched the German news this week, and they noted on average.....spaghetti is 36-percent higher than it was six months ago.  

2.  The EU is hyped-up negative about the 200-billion Euro 'loan' that Germany is cooking up to save consumers and companies from the escalating natural gas and electrical costs.  Primarily anger?  Well....other countries are not able to afford this.  Course, no one has come to the 200-billion falling upon the backs of the German tax-payers....sooner or later.

3.  Cottbus, Germany (population of 100,000)....situated in the eastern part of the country.....holds a mayor's election on Sunday.  It's possible that a AfD Party guy wins the election.  Lot of shock going on with this possibility.

4.  The city government of Speyer has given the widow of Helmet Kohl a final ultimatum....put up a true burial site or they will take the action themselves.

The basic description of the current deal?  It's not really a memorial to a Chancellor, and with the security fencing around it.....it's something less than a memorial.   

It's become a 'battle' of sorts, with even the sons of Kohl opposing the widow.
