Q-and-A

 1.  Is Prigozhin, the Russian coup-guy, still alive?

No one has seen the guy in two weeks, and even in Germany....the journalists seem pretty convinced Putin had the guy 'whacked'.  

2.  Is Germany in a drought cycle?

I think you could go back to a decade ago and suggest that central Germany now has a drought-cycle which has developed.  You get decent rains in March/April....then it ends until late September.  I'd generally say for the past 120 days in my region (Wiesbaden), there's been two light rainfalls (quarter-inch each time) and one 'gusher' (30-minute half-inch situation).

Fronts that do come over?  Mostly heavy cloud cover, with a temperature drop.  

3.  Last Generation activists going to block planes leaving?

Well....this AM in Hamburg and Dusseldorf....roughly a dozen flights were suspended/cancelled.  If you were looking at hostile and angry Germans.....you just created several thousand....this included the crowd on these planes leaving, and the crowd at destinations who expected their plane to arrive and they could board to return to Germany.

At the present pace, I'd say roughly a quarter of German society will have a very solid negative opinion about the Last Generation folks by this time in 2024.
