Re: Jeep Grand Cherokee headlights
Hi Earle,
I use "pedacito" seems to soften them up as if I'm willing to try
to understand them.
Yup first thing I do is get a ticket and time for a tour bus, works
great to help orient yourself so you may go back and really look at the
places that interest me. I do the same thing on vacation trips through
America. Or boat: http://www.----------.com/temp/amsterdam.jpg

Re: Jeep Grand Cherokee headlights
Yup. In fact we retired from Dallas to the Sierra Nevada, and like you say,
it's a short trip to a beach or a mountain. Your pic of Baumholder reminds
me that the old German barracks are still there but transferred back from
the US to German units! But I don't know why you say the trees are not
alive. Maybe there was some insect damage when you were there, but they
were all growing when I left!

Re: Jeep Grand Cherokee headlights
I'd like people to know that I don't like American cities either. I grew up
close to Boston, I spent lots of time in New York and Seattle, and the one
time I went to L.A. it just gave me the *******. There are places here I
like, but I have already moved all my stuff to Silverton, and bought the
empty lot next to mine, to keep Californicators and Texans from building
there. :-) (Although to be fair, the latest wave of refugees seems to be
from Indiana, Missouri, places like that, that I always used to think of as
rural too.)
Do they laugh a lot, when you say "pedacito"?

close to Boston, I spent lots of time in New York and Seattle, and the one
time I went to L.A. it just gave me the *******. There are places here I
like, but I have already moved all my stuff to Silverton, and bought the
empty lot next to mine, to keep Californicators and Texans from building
there. :-) (Although to be fair, the latest wave of refugees seems to be
from Indiana, Missouri, places like that, that I always used to think of as
rural too.)
