“Well, is this already Dallas?” I think to myself in the face of oil operations, an astonishingly sight that I only knew from American TV series of the eighties having the same name. Just two hours ago I started my joyride with my little black bike (LBB) and once again the tour offered some surprises to me. Suddenly there is
I do not believe in accidents. There are only hints. Whether you notice and use them is up to you. I received one of those hints on June 5th, watching an interview on a TV show dealing with topics of culture. The guy being interviewed was Christian Marty a Swiss journalist and “ideas historian”. Being interviewed Marty delivers a pleading
Sometimes it can be worth to leave the beaten tracks. I did it recently and discovered a place I might not have come across otherwise. This is the story of going straight instead of turning left.

We are still in the middle of a crisis nobody could have anticipated in its degree. But, after two months of a business lockdown owners start to get nervous. Their future is uncertain and some of them might have reched the end of their rope already. I could witness an impact of these consequences myself yesterday in Hannover when I
Last saturday I once again discovered something new. We walked the ridge at Salzgitter. Looking for a nice hike in my area I came across this round trip between the Reihersee and the Bismarck-Tower situated between Gebardshagen and Salzgitter-Bad.

Well, I always knew how Anna Mae Bullock, aka Tina Turner, must have felt within the Nutbush City Limits. Come to Helmstedt and see it for yourself. Oh boy, I will never forget this: the day when I saw the Tina Turner poster on the Schuhstraße. It was attached to a shop-window and well there was somebody called Tina, just
