Skulking in old DBDs, I see. Guess that’s what one does on weekends without fresh DBD available ;-)
Still some sleep issues, as can be seen with it being 0045 now.
Been nice overall. Ms MoriBear suggested a trip to Colmar (from Basel) for yesterday. “Ok, whatever”. Ended up being a lovely little gingerbread town in France. (And a place to …

Been nice overall. Ms MoriBear suggested a trip to Colmar (from Basel) for yesterday. “Ok, whatever”. Ended up being a lovely little gingerbread town in France. (And a place to burn some Euro cash…had brought too much. Credit cards were way more in vogue in Germany than I’d been led to believe.)
I need to do a vid of the train-ticket buying machine the French have. Gotta be old Soviet technology, both in UI (looks like a touchscreen, but it’s not…you use a dial) and in user-friendliness (you select English…with said dial…and three words on the next page are in English, but all 17 descriptions of ticket types are still in French).
At Basel station, I watched multiple people NOT buy tickets before I decided to use my ticket app.
When at Colmar station getting tickets back, I ended up also failing at the machine. So got them from a human at a booth. Where I found out that there’s a family ticket available, that was not offered by (third-party) app.
So tickets to Colmar had been €20 more than they needed to be. But we were running late, so i consider it the first actual “convenience” fee I’ve ever paid on tickets. (As opposed to the usual Fuck You monopoly fee.)
I actually was killing time watching Farhan’s idiot manager Kapler gag away a lead v KC by using his FA SP acquisition in a high leverage 8th inning situation despite having 2 different late inning RP’s named Rogers….I was wondering how MoriBears trip was & this was the last strand I remember you responded to ;-)
For some reason, my sign-ins work fine on laptop. But on phone/tablet, they get mangled.
For tomorrow, mid-day Basel boat cruise with friends. And just saw that Dubs are on at 2130. Not sure it’s worth live viewing, but if i wake up at midnite again, I can skim thru it.

Sorry you asked? ;-)
Oh, still no Go, Bears to be heard.
Damn, and they signed me in with my Dub Nation HQ ID :-(
I gotta fix that somehow.

I don’t usually rehash previous DBD’s ;-)

Gonna try to sleep again. Gute Nacht!
