BBV: Making visits report #1
We were so tired after our long trip...and this German Keyboard has the z and y reversed and damn my fingers are tired. Have you ever looked for a @ on a German keyboard? Do a google and see how freakin hard that is. Took us a day to learn to send e-mail.

Now for the visits...they are going quite well. We visited an amazing pastry bakery and I swear I have gained 5 pounds.

We actuallz (oopsö there's that German kezboard problem again) We actually are doing quite a bit of work. You will be surprised who we met with, and the information we gleaned from them.

The people here are really nice and warm but my GOD the traffic is crazy. Where do they learn to drive here??? Tschuß Aufweidersehen....

Andz (Öops) Stephenson

23. Did you bring extra luggage....

Let me guess- it's a 24 hour shop?

16. Okaz so I spent 45 minutes on Google trzing to find
the 'at' sign for AN e+mail which is, apparentlzh, different for everz kezboard. Punctuation is a bitch on these computers. Added to that we+ve gone Mac now and are on PC withdrawal. ##

,öäü+ß and then thereäs the little matter of where to find the slash kez in order to tzpe a web address. Whew. ##. Carriage return ends up with this##

Now, Iäve got mz fingers crossed that certain planned things will go as schedule. Would fill zou in but that might jinx it.

Can#t sleep. ##

Now, for something of substance -- while demonstrating a problem with the securitz of the szstems, found the worst Diebold memo I've seen in a long time. It's going straight to the attornez general when I get back. Surprised I hadnät seen it zet. Just goes to prove there is more in there if zou hunt. zikes.##

OK, off to bed folks.##

Now to take back zour voteÖ httpÖ-- blackboxvoting.org üüps - http://www.blackboxvoting.org

22. They get EXTENSIVE driver's training in Germany.
Sure, they drive fast, but they also know HOW to drive. Want to see some suicidal drivers? Go to Italy.
