After about 60 miles into the trip, things were progressively greener and livelier. Even had a couple showers nearby on the way. Coming back, it was dry as a bone on the autobahn in our direction and it was raining so hard that traffic was slowed way down in the opposite lanes (20-30 ft away). Always see interesting stuff on those trips. Couple of truckloads of old tractors/equipment heading east (usually means fixed and back in service in a poorer area), Couple where the complete load was a bucket for an earth mover (loader?).... And always a couple of accidents.... Nothing serious this time but eyeopeners.... [Reply]   [No Email]

Wife's birth mother couldn't make it this time which made the trip MUCH better. Such a strain on my people skills when I see that woman and her husband.... Grandmother is the "mother" that we recognize, other one dropped out in the first year and came back about 16 years ago....... [Reply]  [No Email]
