Yep, you read right!

I am in Toulouse France and Amsterdam through Friday morning on a business trip. Lamps for the European Space Agency.

I can tell you one thing, FRENCH DRIVERS are INSANE!!!!!!!

The architecture is beautiful though.... We are driving a small turbo-deisel by Renault, 5-speed and very peppy. SMALL!!!! No SUV's or other American anaomolies, and no one driving with a $$%$%$ cell phone stuck in thier ear.

I'll post later in the trip!

Guess who's behind us?



It's name is Herschel, and it's a real space satellite, ready to test. We have been at ESA, and the technology is fascinating! Now to have a real strong Dutch beer

You might as well stay in Europe for the next four years, you'll be better off!

Anyone wants me I'll be hiding in the deepest, darkest corner of the Closet, drinking heavily, sharpening my knives and cleaning my guns.

Oh, BTW.....The Closet door is deadbolted and barricaded from the inside, so if you knock you'd better know the password or.....



Glad I stocked up on enough food and water to last me a decade.

I see our intensive lobbying efforts have been successful and you have been deported overseas to raise hell on European highways!

Nah, our luck she'll come back as some kind of a Mossad ninja-cyber-sleeper-agent.
Sorry, Dee, but with your hair and facial features and wickedly bent mindset; those Israeli's would be after you like hounds on a wounded rabbit.


Hmmmmmm, waitaminute...... that whole Mossad nija-cyber-yadayadayada gig could be useful over the next 4 years!

Nah, never mind; if Dan can't get the FFR shipped over there; Dee would never be stealthy enough. I just don't see anybody "sneaking around stealthily" in Cobrask8!
