Just a short hello from our vacations We're right now in Page/Arizona and I'm busy this evening with
a) waiting, that the tumble dryer is finished with our clothes - without destroying them (US-origin Low Tech...)
b) the English keyboard of the PC in the hotel lobby
c) finishing the sixpack - tomorrow the tour goes on to the dry Utah

so just a short on-topic comment.

I've seen a plenty of accidents (in a few I was also involved...) that I cannot remember them all.

The first one, I remember was in the mid-70ies, when I was a small boy. In the wee village, where my grandmother lived, a neighbour-girl teached me riding bicycle (yes. ) A friend of her stopped in his Simca 1000 to ask her something - then annother fellow smashed with at least 50 km/h smashed into the Simca with his Opel Ascona A. Nobody was injured, but both cars were totaled.

The high score about this topic is hold by my wife. At one day on the way home (terrible 70 km from Duesseldorf to our village mostly via the terrible Autobahn A3) she had witnessed three accidents. So two times she could tell the bewildered Autobahn-cops "Hi, me again"

to be continued...

Now the dryer is finished and me tired.
