I am sick of winter......

I am sooooo sick of winter. Every morning I look at the temperature and
it is below 20 degrees. Not much snow though, but still, grey days, a little
snowfall here and there. Since I am not into skiing, I can't really enjoy
the outdoors either. So, I can only hope that it will start to get warmer
here soon.


In the meantime, I can dream at playing
nice golf courses at warmer pastures......

Mmmmmmmmmmmm.





Olympia Update:
Watching the Olympics at NBC is difficult as always. With all the human
interest stories and chatter, the coverage of the actual sports events is
somewhat limited. But the Internet provides up to date info.
And..... Germany beat the USA in CURLING. YEAH Baby.
I would have never guessed that pushing a rock across ice would make
a sport. Maybe next time they introduce ice-fishing or shoveling the
driveway as a sport.

Groundhog Day

"Okay, campers, rise and shine, and don't forget your booties 'cause
it's cooooold out there today....... Thats right, woodchuck-chuckers -
it's GROUNDHOG DAY! "
Well, unfortunately, Phil did see his shadow, so that means 6 more
weeks of winter wonderland. And just to prove the pont, it started
snowing here this afternoon. Just a dusting, but enough to get the
streets slick again. I can't wait for a white Easter!

The end justifies the means ................... NOT!
I am just reading in the German newspaper that the German government is
thinking of buying a CD with data about people who evaded taxes.
The rumor is that the CD is 2.5 million Euros and the data on it could
possible yield up to 100 million Euros in back taxes. Nothing wrong with
it, wright? Problem is that the data was illegally obtained, so basically they
are buying stolen goods. They claim this is the right choice because they
would catch a bunch of tax evaders. Mmmmm. So the end justifies the means?
Sorry, but I can't follow that logic at all.
