Beautiful weather? Tourists? Check. Beer gardens full? Check.

Random notes....

The beer garden next to the Viktualienmarkt in munich where I buy the
best tomatoes in the world (well, maybe-except they come from
Sardinia) was jam-packed at 3 pm today. Note to self: go buy tomatoes
earlier in the day...

Off to see the new Star Trek film this evening. People whose taste in
movies I trust tell me it's good.

Meanwhile, read a well-written but very disturbing article yesterday
about Dubai, an article which spends a lot of time describing the
slave/servant class that has more or less built the monster skyscraper
hotels and shopping malls for the Emirates. Will post the link a bit
later with some other thoughts.
Actually, here's the link to the article: "The Dark Side of Dubai" - thoughts still to come.

Great article. And agree, I too would enjoy sleeping in a gigantic human sized warm cat basket today. :)
