1. Curious 'threat' yesterday AM...the A44 has been closed at the Jackerath interchange (far west area of Germany). A blade of a brand-new wind turbine... danger of being blown onto the roadway by the strong wind.
2. Mid-morning Wed....Berlin power grid back up to 100-percent power. Around an hour later....the police announce they will have food to hand out at a dozen locations toward late afternoon....for public consumption.
3. Thursday weather outlet....freezing rain and heavy snow for various areas of Germany.
4. Kinda funny....the Bundeswehr (German Army) finally arrived Wed AM...right as the grid in Berlin was back-up to full power....so the soup kitchen operation started five hours later.
5. Another grid threat. Unknown individuals have apparently attempted to sabotage the power supply in the state of NRW. Substation in Erkrath, an incendiary device was discovered that had not been ignited. A claim of responsibility from the left-wing group "Kommando Angry Birds" was left.
6. German immigration office in trouble.....employees at the Bielefeld immigration office are being investigated for accepting bribes for indefinite residence permits (no amount suggested, but I would imagine it's in the range of 1k Euro). Fifteen cases being reviewed.
7. German Bahn (rail) on a new strike schedule.....spring-period...wanting 8-percent more pay.
