Buffalo Thurday At The Harbor Prison Camp

Buffalo has become a total shithole. I hate this city so much after seeing outside. Nothing makes it more obvious than the full police state drama at the Thursday in Harbor series.

Now they have metal detectors, mega police presence, the panopticon, flood lights and hundreds of duschebag private security guards to flank to police.

it's just another excuse to funnel money to the private industry.

Guns out everywhere and not the good kind. I'm done spending my money there and we used to spend a lot.

Dear Terry,

Either way you are the best and I hope that every year is as amazing as the last.

Love,

The Biggest Figs

These were literally the biggest figs I have ever seen, they were about 70 cents a fig which is so cheap when you compare the normal price of the small ones at home.

Allergies and Nostril Tampons

My allergies are so insane right now. I wish I had brought the flonase but now there isn't enough time to use it before I leave Bavaria, the land of grassy mountains.

It's interesting to see just how much snot my nose can make. The right Nostril makes about twice as much. I probably used 100 Kleenex and mixed Claritan and Zyrtec with no success.

Then out if desperation I looked in the medicine cabinet at the place we are staying and see tampons. I decided to try a tampon and it worked lol. At least for a bit I can sit and watch TV without constantly dripping.

Giant Hogweed in Leipzig Botanic Gardens

It says on the red sign in German that it's dangerous to touch but it's right in the path.

Seems dangerous.

Here is the giant Hogweed wiki article

In Leipzig

Finally got to Leipzig. It seems like a really cool city. The downtown is amazing. Everything is old and at the same time interspersed with very new high end malls, stores, restaurants and shops.

We saw the church where the revolution that over through the DDR went down. Apparently, the people protested there and the government sent in the police to break it up back in 1989. When the police got there, they joined in the protest which was the beginning of the end.

Sometimes It makes me sad. This side of Germany is so Americanized now.

For example, there are more McDonalds, Burger Kings, KFCs and Pizza Huts here than at home.

Now you can experience the DDR presence at the DDR store at the mall. It's such a ridiculous statement that such a store exists. It's as if even that can be capitalized and commerciazed.
