Chris in the west, of Europe: Rain rain on my face..

Well, it appears as though the summer I am living in Deutschland is the worst weather ever. This is true at least when compared to the normal idea of summer- sun, heat, blue skies. Sure we have had some nice days here and there, but I would say overall it has been very unsummerlike. At least it is not snowing.
As I have not updated this blog recently I can try to think what is new. Hmm. Well, something that isn't new is that the cashier ladies still are getting the best of me. I have come to realize that customers can only improve up to a certain level when it comes to the speed of checkout, bagging, and payment. Upon some serious self inspection, I do believe that I have gotten a bit faster in bagging my goods and getting rid of some heavy change, but I think I have reached terminal velocity.

Aside from that I have finished a watercolor painting that was sketched out sometime when I was either volunteering or working at ACE Tomato Co. Spies Like Us anyone? That reminds me, I think there is a covert agent in my Deutsch course. He seems to speak a number of tongues fluently, and pretends he doesn't speak English at all. I do not buy it for a second though, but I won't let him know that I am onto him. Not until I really know what he is worth to his country of origin anyway.

Don't have much else to say except that the people around here are so sad looking. I wonder what their reasons are for walking around everyday if they really feel how they look. Perhaps if we get a real dose of summer, people will get a little more vitamin D in their system. To anyone out there with a like problem, I can only say, buck up little camper.
