1. That Turk-German shooter from Monday...in Stade....has a twist or two.
Back in 2021....this guy was in Turkey....and was detained/arrested by the Turkish cops....on sexual abuse of his daughter (this is a separate daughter from the German situation). I asked AI on the age....but none of the Turkish newspapers noted this.
So he was held.....then one day....he escaped.
I paused over this.....when you get detained and held in a Turkish jail....you don't normally escape. In my mind....there's probably a fair amount of a bribe....where the door is left unlocked. Oddly, after he escaped....being a German citizen....he went 'home'. You would think....some Turkish prosecutor would have talked to the Germans and searched for the guy. But 'no'....nothing much happened.
All this connectivity to the NGO business? Well....it makes you wonder.
2. Klopp pretty much 'fixed' to be the new soccer coach?
There is this small matter....he has still some kind of continuing contract....where he can't coach another team.
3. No one yet seems able to explain the new sick-note procedure....where you MUST start the note on day one.
I asked my German wife....odds of me getting an appointment with our doctor....she responded.....'the staff won't answer until 9 AM....it's 50-50 if you can get a appointment to be seen by 5 PM'.
This being done strictly by phone? Well.....ethically, it's possible....just me telling the 'doc' I feel sick.
Coalition screw-up? Yeah....this will be a major problem.
4. One of the biggest fires in a decade or two....in Stuttgart last night. Two warehouses in an industrial area on the Neckar River.
5. Drought continues on....my cherry tree has probably lost one-third of it's leaves now. There's been two ultra-light rains over a 10-week period now. Temps? Fantastic....six days of 24 C to 28 c.
