European News That Suprised Me

I saw in the news today that China just edged out Germany as the world's top exporter

I seriously had no idea that Germany performed so well in the world market. How can they with the high standard of living, social welfare, baggage from WWI and WWII along with the lack of natural resources. You would think they would have lost all their productive competitiveness as America did.

According to wikipedia:

Germany is the world's top exporter with $1,498 trillion exported in 2008 (Eurozone countries are included) and generates a trade surplus of 165 billion.

As a side note, who knew the prime minister of the Ukraine was so hot. She wears her hair like this a lot. Here is her wikipedia page

Garret county spiral cut ham

If you like ham on the bone, this is the best. Its also free of
preservatives, hormones and antibiotics and nitrates. I bought it at
the coop but it comes from garret county farms

It was really expensive last week at like $5.99/lb or ~$52 for an 8 lb
ham. That same ham is now only $2.99/lb at $25 total. 8lbs is so
much ham, you have enough to eat for a week, plus make soup with the
bone and you can still freeze half. Its totally cooked and has a
delicious smoky maple glaze so it's also no work minus figuring out
how to eat all that ham. I mean that's competive with deli slices ham
prices and this is so much tastier and healthier.

Our gas bill

You think it would be crazy expensive but with insulated walls, plastic wrapped
windows, closed doors and keeping it not very hot we manage to get the bill down to $230 and that real not estimated.

Talking Carl

This app for the iPhone is so fun. It's 99 cents but the way it
works, we all get to use it on our phones on our family plan.
Anyways, he repeats after you in a funny voice and you can tickle
him. We justified the purchase by (e:Matthew) saying the kids would
like it.

Holiday graveyard

This year we went all out with the big stuff. I am not so dedicated
for next year. Moving a 50 lb frozen pumkin is hard. Right now it's
in the middle of the backyard.
