A couple German phrases I know are ' Bitte ture schliessen' (please close the door, which I learned on the Milan to Venice train 20+ years ago, and 'fahrt nicht bumplitz' (do not drive to Bumplitz) which I read on a Swiss newspaper headline and it stuck in my head...- 1

I've learned a few choice phrases in German. Recently, a few buses quarreled with each other by extended honking at a Sicilian airport. There will always be a German or two or three on the shuttle buses, leaving the airport so I turned to one and said, "Die Sizilen ist unterhaltsam." That means "Sicily is entertaining." One of the first things I learned is "die Sieben-vier-sieben is sehr gut." That means "the 747 is very good." -

I have no clue about current American music and I don't like what I hear. I think it really peaked in the seventies, eighties and nineties ... and younger people who come to know that music also come to admit that same thing. -

Permanently Resolve Porsche PADM Fault Issues
For Porsche owners long plagued by PADM system malfunctions, there is no longer any need to resort to blindly expensive repairs. The original factory sensors feature a rudimentary design; unable to withstand the daily stresses of high temperatures and road vibrations, detachment and failure have become the norm—leading to repetitive repairs that drain both time and money. Lumistag has professionally engineered a compatible sensor solution, custom-tailored specifically for the entire Porsche 911 and 718 model ranges. Featuring comprehensively upgraded craftsmanship and a robust, solid internal structure, these sensors offer anti-aging and wear-resistance capabilities that far exceed those of the original factory parts. Easily eliminate all fault warnings and bid farewell to chassis-related anomalies once and for all. Offering exceptional value without unnecessary markups, these sensors feature a non-destructive, "plug-and-play" installation process that requires no modification to the vehicle's original wiring. Built for durability and longevity, they represent the premier choice for Porsche owners seeking high-quality maintenance and repair solutions. https://lumistag.com/ -

I didn't even know this existed. It was the background music for a photo montage on YouTube. I know next to nothing her except that she was in "A View to a Kill," the last 007 film for Roger Moore. I did not know about her music. She's not really easy on the eyes with her severe look. But this particular cut is easy on the ears and good for interstate driving. -

Does anyone know of or have any experience with cardboard wardrobe boxes made for moving? The ones from Home Depot are not that good. With the metal hanger rod extended across the top, it does not prevent torsion in the box and the folding side flap, which is meant to give you a look into the box, is flimsy ... and if you even put small things on top of this tall box, it tends to sink in. Someone out there has to have some good solid wardrobe boxes in their available inventory of moving supplies. Help and ideas, please ... -

Some of these famous buildings are hideous, some are interesting with decent parts to them, and a rare few are really nice. The hideous ones include the newer architecture building at University of Washington, Wurster Hall (also architecture) at UC Berkeley, and perhaps the Salk Institute in San Diego. These buildings are cold and soul sucking, so they're hard to be in. They also come from a fairly ugly (on various levels) sixties and seventies granola period. One of these buildings would be a "hybrid" and it's fine. That would be Campbell Hall (again ... architecture) at the University of Virginia, which is definitely brutalist reinforced concrete at the first taller level or two, with an exposed waffle slab at levels above you. However, they soften it up by using brick on the upper floors' exterior, as well as lower floor to ceiling heights. The one brutalist gem would have to be the main library at University of California San Diego. They definitely did not do this to reduce costs because it's a complicated building. However, it's probably a nice space to be inside because of the floor to ceiling windows all around. It's just that there was a wave of putting up these buildings on West Coast campuses, surrounded by eucalyptus or fir and hemlock, and it was usually at hippieish campuses and their atmospheres don't gel with me. -
