Size of Problems

Friday, February 26th, 2010

We – and the problems we are grappling with – fills a lot in our own worldview.
But if we see the Earth from outside, we are really quite small in comparison.

Earth is one of the smaller planets around the Sun.
The sun is just one out of approx. 100 billion (!) Stars in the Milky Way.

The Milky Way is just one of perhaps billions of galaxies in the universe.

Suddenly everyday problems seems rather small. ;)

License plate trouble

Monday, February 22nd, 2010

Yesterday I had parked my car at a train station. When I came back to fetch it, I discovered that both license plates were stolen!

Today I had to spend time getting new license plates, change the registration certificate of the car, contact the insurance company and find the places where the old number was registered.

You could be tired of reading yet another post about snow.
I am definitely tired of having to write about the same topic in yet another post. But snow is everywhere these months: The snow that fell weeks ago are still lying there, and ever so often, we see more snow from above.

Snow snow snow … and more snow

Blizzard yesterday. More snow today. When will it ever have an end?
Maybe now? The cold continues, but the meteorologists promise days without snow from above.
