1. Soccer season is about to end....key story left, Bayern has yet to find the coach for their team in the next season. They have probably the best rooster of players in the entire German top league, but consider virtually every single loss to be an affair to cry over and weep. Lot of coaches simply don't want the stress.
2. Top headline in Focus: Iran supposedly a couple of weeks away from developing a nuke bomb. 'Expert' chatter. Might be BS....might not be.
3. Snow and ice in various higher elevations of Germany this AM. If you put summer tires on last week....you probably shouldn't be traveling anywhere for the next 48 hours.
4. The legend of 'Chico' continues. Spring of 2022...A Turk-German guy named 'Chico' won 9.9-million Euro in the lotto. Chico had often been in trouble....even doing some time in prison.
Most people expected Chico to have spent all of the money in three or four years. He did an interview in the past week and the question of 'how much was left' came up.
Chico say that he has a good bit invested, and that he has in the neighborhood of seven million Euro left.
Part of the dynamics to careful management? Well...reading through other sources....he has a girlfriend that came into the picture....who works for the police. Major influence on him.
He also invested a fair amount of the money into property....rentals. So he's got a monthly income rolling in.
5. In case you were wondering....the Bahn folks (railway system) has banned cannabis smoking within the stations. Topic came up this AM. But their wording simply says 'inside'....meaning you could walk ten meters out of any station and smoke on the 'open'.
I should add....there are national rules written that even around sports venues (stadiums for example)....smoking of cannabis is forbidden.
6. Some chatter this AM for the state official from Thuringia....in charge of the Office for the Protection of the Constitution (at the state level)...now calling for public awareness....that Russian espionage/spies are in some effort to scout out attack targets in Germany.
Reading through the piece (N-TV reported).....he has a valid point, but there's probably been such people around since the 1950s doing target surveillance (nothing really new).
Germans expecting such trouble? No. General public perception is that there can only be no-war or all-out-war in their mind. The idea of sabotaging twenty autobahn bridges or blowing up a dozen railway tunnels....isn't really in their mind.
