My Morning Adventure

 This AM....I went early to the Wiesbaden Zollamt (tax-office)....to renew my pink-card (allows me to use the BX/commissary).

So I get there....plenty of parking.  Walk in....hand the card to  the uniformed Zoll-lady.  She spend 20 minutes....coming over to see me....a problem.

Well....her system connects to some server in Darmstadt (Zoll HQ for the state, I guess).  AC is down.  Server is off. 

I ask....can I come back in 2 hours?  NO.

Maybe in 4 hours?  NO.

Wednesday?  Maybe.

Thursday.....yeah.

I pondered this....all this connectivity in Germany....with AI being a priority, and if the AC fails....the whole system collapses.

Pretty critical weak point.
