1. Arctic 'blast' coming through Germany this weekend....temp's dropping by 10 C. Yesterday, it was near 17C at my house (63 F).....awful spring like. Today? High of 7 C (45 F). Some snow anticipated at higher elevations.
2. Nuke energy summit in Brussels. 37 countries signed onto a nuke energy development strategy.....not Germany.
3. Not a end of the world event....but the German national soccer club has wrapped up it's 'friendship' with Adidas....going now to Nike. Economics Minister even says there's something wrong with the national image if this occurs.
4. This Red Army Faction gal captured in the past month....held around 140,000 Euro in cash (total). More than what they hinted two weeks ago. Her two male buddies? Still on the loose.
5. Big long piece on German N-Tv....talking over Putin. A belief emerging that he needs this current chaos to reshape Russia into what he perceives as the follow-on society (after he passes).
I won't give this idea much support. It's just triggering a lot of young people thoughts of leaving Russia, and giving society a deep mess to handle in two or three decades.
One odd aspect also mentioned.....as many prisoners that have been released....various Russian prisons are being closed (permanently). I tend to think they aren't worried about the war ending and these guys coming back.
6. Federal council had final say over cannabis legalization. It passed....will be legal on 1 April.
There's words by the CDU Party boss....they are looking at options for next week....to halt this by other means.
7. Asparagus coming early to Germany. Lot of early spring planting (unlike any previous year)....so market will see a huge amount of delivery in the next ten days.
8. In Bonn....German cops were called to a house....where people passing by were hearing calls for help and some hysteria going on.
Cops arrive (sounds like an hour later)....confronting the parents who answered the door.
Chaos was their son (14) who was playing "Fortnite" on his computer, and got all hyped-up.
In the end, parents agreed to have a 'talk' with the kid.
9. That German Bundeswehr 'leak' about the Taurus missile business? Well....big investigation now going on, with the German Attorney General having a say if someone gets charged.
10. Thuringia state election poll done (for the fall state election). BSW Party (new folks) now at 15 percent. AfD lost five point over past two months....still in the lead at 29-percent.
11. German pensions to rise by 4.5-percent in July.
