Happy anniversary to you, Penth!! What a great day to have the anniversary of your new BBM life, on the first day of spring!! If you can, let's celebrate more in chat in a few hours!!


Thankew kindly, FRiend  :-*
Due to the fact that you have already switched to summer time and we haven't yet, the chat will be at midnight for me (instead of 1am). Since I'm a night-owl, I'll be still up. Good chance I'll come to the chat.  :)

Don't get me started on SUVs! LOL

Seems we share a pet-peeve, lol.
While you barely ever see a pickup-truck in Germany, SUVs have become much too poular, IMO. They don't make any sense in crowded Germany with its completely paved streets  ::). Except maybe for a few hundred forest rangers  :laugh:.



Happy Anniversary Chrissi!

 :-*

Thanks!  And  :-* right back at ya  :).

Yesterday, I drove past a gas station that had different prices for cash and credit: $3.19 gallon for cash and $3.27 gallon for credit. I don't think I have seen a sign like that for at least a decade!

For the records: at the moment we pay approx. 1.42€ per Liter. That's 5.38€ per gallon = 8.31$ per gallon:o
Even taking in account that the Euro has a pretty good exchange rate, that's much, much more than the Americans pay.

Touché, Chrissi!  Yikes!

Look at it this way, if you drive in the US, it would cost you 2.05 Euro per gallon!

Yes, I know we pay alot less. When I was in Norway, I didn't even look at the prices, just handed over my credit card.

Even so, I think $3.27 might be the highest that I have ever seen around here.

 :laugh: Maybe I should bring five or six empty jerrycans when I come to the US in May/June.
But somehow I doubt the TSA guys would let me take them on board ....  ;D :laugh:
David? Can you put in a good word for me? I promise I won't blow anything up *looking very innocent*
