Car update


Gobbles

629 views

So as of today our plan looks like this:

We are going to keep our two cars (manual ones) and once I have my license, we will buy a car with automatic for me. A used one, not new. Not too old, but also not almost brand new, you get the point. It should have some features, not too many kilometres and a few other things. As automatic cars in Germany are not the norm, the prices are higher and you get less cars. But we have already looked, and there are some who are possible.

So the decision to go on with automatic is 99% made. 

Next lesson hopefully tomorrow, we weren't able to call my instructor yet.

      The media has its issues, but there are still lots of responsible, serious journalists out there. 

      I keep getting almost identical conspiracy theories from both my extremely leftist family and the ones who’ve gone very right wing. It’s pretty funny.

      The E name discussion was a big hit in our house this morning. It was the “around the table” question of the day.

      Edison          Edria 

      Eegon           Eevonne 

      Efraim          Effemia

      Egerton        Egypt

      Erica has two associations for me. One is Erika Shupe, and the other is that it was the name of the “Brown Owl” of my Brownie Guides group when I joined. Brown Owl is the traditional name given to the main leader of a Brownie unit here in the UK. I remember she always had her hair in a single long plait down her back.

      We use Brown Owl for the main leader in Canada too and Tawny Owl for second in command.

      The media has its issues, but there are still lots of responsible, serious journalists out there. 

      It's the all or nothing, black or white, orcs or Hobbits views. Or as a giant black dog once said, the world is not split into good people and death eaters. 

      The field of journalism has changed dramatically. But saying "they work for the rich" and are "sellouts" is so juvenile and lacks any sort of understanding of the state of the industry. 

      Calling people "sellouts" because they took or kept jobs when their peers and colleagues were being laid off is just cruel. It's also not that deep. Not everyone in journalism is into hard-hitting investigative journalism. There are sports writers and sports casters, arts and entertainment, political analysts, anchors, feature writers, food writers, etc. There's a former Attorney General who writes a garden column and occasionally a piece on local politics. I guess he's a "sellout" too, reminding us when to start our peonies and snap peas. 

      And beyond that, there are still plenty of people blogging and podcasts because they love it, while working their day jobs. Art wants to be a journalist who doesn't "sell out" or "work for the rich?" They can do what thousands of laid off journalists and start blogging. A recent political blog in my state sold for a few million and it brings in around $5 million annually. More in election years. It's a terrible example of journalism and responsibility, but the fact is that someone created it, created content, marketed it, and found readers and advertisers and managed to make money off of it.
