Schöner Grüß aus den Bergen Österreichs.

We had a Lederhosen P-Day today -- up to Schneeberg, just outside of Wiener Neustadt. When I saw the cows, I remembered a promise I made to Spencer and family, saying that if I ever saw cows with big bells hanging around their necks on the side of the Austrian Alps, and I happened to be wearing Lederhosen, then I would have to take a picture.

Sie hat mich gern, wie ihr sehen könnt. Alles Liebe!

I Guess I Miss New Mexico

I said a while back that I missed Dion's. I think it was just New Mexico all together.

Above are some peppers I found in a Turkish grocery store. Holy cow. They were hot. I think I'll make some Huevos Rancheros later this week.

And no, Mom, I'm not sick. The grapes were just a really good deal... Ha.

Like Father, Like Son...

Above are Elder Smith's (my father) and my Zippo Lighters. He liked mine so much he bought his own.

Below are Elder La Count's (my son) and my Zippo Lighters. He liked mine so much he bought his own.

I'm such a bad influence.

I Miss Dion's...

Does it show?

Die Taufe Wiens

A couple weeks ago, there was a huge storm in Vienna. We've had some big storms in the past, but there was something different about this one. This time, the storm came on P-Day. Much splashing and wetness followed. This is the flooded (about 3-4" of water) subway station at Ottakring. I call it the baptism of Vienna.
