I smiled when a group of swiss teens were being super loud and rowdy and obnoxious on the tram, but as we got off, one of the boys went out of his way to come help me off the tram, push his friends to move, and lift down my stroller.

My German is less crap after singing Bach in German today for 9 hours.
Not sure if I get the same feeling of achievement tomorrow. |

And I wouldn't be surprised. The socio research on empathy keeps steadily showing stats on the most empathetic part of the population being high school age.  Good, that they let us learn from them.

I see the sky in these days so grey, and I think to myself when I go to work by bike: what a wonderful world! YOOUP! it's raining so much after more 8 months without a drop of water in horizon.
I've even thought to buy a ticket to go to Mars, cause I was affraid of this phenomenon named climate change

And my last "project" cast a damper on my euphoric believe I had fully mastered the subject of yeast 
But hey, I did it once, I'll do it again.
I didn't smile today. I laughed. A lot. In fact at one point I had a belly ache from it. What a day!

..... not only my car all of a sudden runs like a sewing machine, my new mechanics are also a lot cheaper (easily comparable on the tire-change-bill that arrived today).
At long last ..... lesson of the day: Maybe I shouldn't give people too many additional chances.

These guys make me laugh pretty much every day!
They love dropping things onto other things from great heights ... much more exciting than just putting things on top of other things. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=enKZgt4kDVk&vl=en |

Cool coincidences: Just after reading about Ian Hibell, I happened to meet a silver-haired man who chanced upon a pretty old road bike that he wanted to sell, because it was too fast for him...didn't think he was that much of an avid cyclist...until he tells me he once did a 6-month long, 10,000km cycle-tour in Canada, and another one in Africa.
Inspiration!

While stuck in busy traffic due to construction, I passed the workmen on the street busy digging away. One man had a Santa hat on under his hardhat. He raised his head and from inside my car, I gave him the 'thumbs up' to which he stopped working and removed his hardhat while bowing low at the waist. Really made my day and maybe I made him smile, too!
