decisions
Our well attended European crickets The board members present could not only use it to exchange ideas with the members, but also to hammer in new pegs for the future of the association. There was a lot of discussion about this and so the barbecue continued into the night.
Fußgänger
As a pedestrian, I've gotten used to having to give way to the Porsches in the pedestrian zone or being gently pushed aside by a mobile home to get a good spot in front of the ice cream parlor.
And now I'm also used to cyclists, who can come from anywhere and expect pedestrians to jump aside in good time. Since I can't hear the bell ringing, I'm always glad when my better half pulls me aside.
With the new road users, on the other hand, you have to be very careful as the weakest road user in order not to be run over. It is definitely an advantage if the electric cars (minimized as bicycles with electric motors) or e-scooters with children come around the corner, since the total weight does not automatically lead to fatal injuries in the event of a possible collision.
daily newspapers
The topic at breakfast this morning, namely why yesterday the New York Times had more precise information about the flooding than most of the local daily newspapers.
The New York Times is one of those daily newspapers that deserve more than 5 minutes of attention every day. However, the quality journalism required for this also has its price, and one has to ask oneself how it is today daily newspapers still be able to finance without them becoming well-coated advertising leaflets.
With some newspapers, one also gets the impression that only the first few pages contain journalistic content. These mostly come from external providers and maybe they will be adjusted a bit to get a local color. Locally known editors spice things up with their commentary before the rest goes to the promotions and advertising department.
Some newspapers have even managed to get myriads of volunteers to fill the local section, satisfying the curiosity or the ego of the readership.
