This is the famous wooden bridge,


in Lucerne, which had been there since the 1300's, but 2/3 of it burnt down in 1993. They left some of the charred sections at the edge of the damage, which was caused when someone flicked a cigarette to the water, but it landed in a boat moored to the bridge and the center burned. Must have been terrible. Gotta say that Lucerne, or Luzern, was my favorite 'surprise' of the trip, as it is SO beautiful in so many ways. Was eating a late dinner with some friends at a dark outdoor restaurant when I reached for part of our (shared)sausage and kraut dinner and felt something hit my hand. Something warm and runny. Bird poop, that would have landed in our food, BUT, hit my hand. Was gross, and everyone had a good laugh, but could have been worse. If my hand hadn't been there, it would have been IN our dinner, and if we had seen it, it would have been yucky. BUT, if we hadn't seen it happen, we would have eaten it, and had a real sh***y dinner. You had to be there...

Because I'm sorta stuck in an Anti-Bush rant.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D99NHb6B03s Can you imagine all those rapper stars with these things? Of course, they'd have to have theirs with 'da bling! Can't be standard, gawd no! And of course, Britney's gotta have one in her car. Paris with her pooch totin' one on the red carpet at some fete. The boys in 'da hood will have a field day on their daily drive bys. P Diddy will wear his on a chain around his neck. You suppose there will be special pockets made in jeans for these things? Trailer trash folks will have 'em camouflaged. Jeff Foxworthy will have to come up with some fresh Redneck stuff. Think George W. will get one, each for the twins? Don't forget Dickie boy for those spur of the moment huntin' trips. Of course Ma Babs will have hers with pearls. Think it will affect the Royals? I can imagine Charles and Camilia on their fox hunt...........ah yes, and Prince Philip, too, must include the...

You think the Repub brand is tarnished now?

Just wait 'til Bonehead leads us all over the cliff, to save his 2% buddies having to pay a little higher tax. The Pubs keep thinking the American public is stupid, and they can get away with their phony political crap. They keep forgetting we're not all a bunch of FOXNews sheep, who'll swallow whatever swill is shoveled to them. A once proud party, like a beast in it's death throes, striking out to harm whatever's close, threatening to shut the gov't down, (again), over the debt limit, which is just paying the bills they already ran up. Political hacks, pretending to be patriots. So sad...

Great 'bargains' at the local Sprouts store

where we picked up asparagus and baby back ribs. Carol and I went for the same stuff (serarately, today), cuz it is so good, AND a great price. Had it for dinner tonight. WOW. One of my fav dinners, as the ribs start out in the crock pot, then finish on the grill, with fresh asparagus. (and bread pudding for dessert) I LOVE this time of year...
