Morning all,

55 degrees, beautiful clear blue sky. Feels like fall out there...

I dont know what the temperature is outdoors but it's 8 p.m., it is still sunny outside in Frankfurt, and I am still puzzling over how I was late all day getting here and managed to check in early!

Oh, and a stab at the security personnel of the world, I set a record of having not one, not two, but three full bottles of water €2,50 a pop - taken from me, once was my goofup, but the others were surprise extra security gates once I was through passport control and through all the rest of the security gates!  I won't get annoyed with you, David, since this is after all in Europe, but maybe you know what the heck is up with these additional impromptu security gates once you get through security the first time?

Congratulations Roland on your 6000th post! 

And to think there was a day when I was once ahead of you!   

[Ellemeno]

how can you do that David?  Out with it!

You're not disappointing me.

Oh, 47 degrees this morning! It really feels cool today but beautiful and sunny. I am sure it will warm up.

  Where was that?       We have surprize gate checkpoints, but we don't take away bottled water if purchased after you go thru security.  Provided that you haven't left and re-entered.

Frankfurt International.  And I bought it at a kiosk about ten steps before this secret pop-up security gate.  I had already had two waters taken away from me at the MAIN security gate, and I hadn't opened this one yet! it was still plastic-sealed.  dang!

as grim as the news is, I couldn't suppress a chuckle at the headline paragraph on CNN.COM this morning:


Hurricane Dean smashes into the Caribbean coast of Mexico after swelling into a powerful Category 5 storm capable of inflicting catastrophic damagey.


That damagey is really REALLY damagey!

See it yourself on cnn.com !

P.S.  Awwww... somebody found it and fixed it!  But for 20 minutes or so we had catastrophic damagey!

Congratulations, Elle! 6000, wow....


50 degrees this morning. Beautiful and sunny but "unseasonably cool" according to the weatherman.
