And not thinking - not asking questions - not mentioning certain facts - not trying to change the things 'as they always were' (our female chancellor loves to use the world <i>'alternativlos'</i>, somewhat analogue to Margaret Thatchers dictum "TINA - There Is No Alternative" of the 1980s ...) is very much appreciated by all partys here (except for some small ones, and maybe only as long as they are not too close to take part in the actual government ...). But o.k. - I just keep calm and pedal on ... ;-)<br /><br />P. S. I am wondering how this German (or Austrian) fire engine (presumably of 1980s vintage - looks like a Mercedes Benz drivers cab ...) has found its way to Vancouver ... ?
