Though the end of the summer has not yet arrived, I’m making a brief guest appearance to try to shed my “shirker” reputation and try to climb back into Kate’s good graces. Here’s a fun documentary video from the 1955 British Grand Prix. And here are 10 of the funniest moments from Fawlty Towers.
These two links may lead one to believe that I’m in Jolly Olde England. While I will indeed be there in a few weeks, I’m currently finishing up my last few hours in Skopje, Macedonia. This was preceded by 2 days in Belgrade, Serbia and will soon be followed by 6 days in Kranj, Slovenia and the Dolomites region of Northern Italy. While I’m not so sure I would actually enjoy living here in Europe, I absolutely do love visiting. Unlike North America, where there’s a general consistency of language & services across the continent, over here one can often drive a few hundred kilometres in any direction and be immersed in a completely different culture & language. It’s absolutely fascinating! And, dare I add, that there’s a certain bliss about being around people where you don’t speak the language; it’s all white noise to my ears. OMG was that racist?!? Finally, amongst the many conversations I’ve had in Eastern Europe, people seem concerned with REAL issues. They’re generally familiar with the Woke Insanity overtaking the West but don’t seem to buy into any of it.
Hoping the summer of everyone visiting SDA is going well!
