...back on the road!

Hello everybody!

just wanted to give you a quick update on current developments in sunny and soon to be very hot California! The climate conditions are as usual great although you can feel that the sun is getting stronger day by day AND the office is getting colder day by day :) Why? Well...pretty easy...since I share the workspace with typical Americans and other nations that are used to warm temperatures...they like it cold around them! That simply means that you go to the office with a T-shirt and then use a sweater not to freeze...strange but obviously the American way of surviving summer :-)

What else...yes..I bought a nice car and so I am back on the road :-)! A very nice Buick le sabre cruiser (see pictures)
built in 1993 and for a relatively low price and in perfect condition! The "light gay" blue color is something new...but at least in summer it does not heat up that much! Fuel prices are relatively low (1 Gallon=approx 4 Liters for about 2.1 Dollars) what makes driving not that expensive compared to bad European times last year! Compared to european driving people here seem not to take care about their fellow californians on the road what makes accidents a regular "event" on the daily way to the office on my 7 lane (one side only!!!!) highway! But driving saves me up to 40 minutes and since I heard that a girl was shot in the bus...I am happy not to use it any more!

Work is also getting better and integration into the team has been very easy! Finally I am working with tons of figures covering all West USA, Mexico and Central America and help the company (Lufthansa Cargo)"control" itself! Lets hope the times get better soon :-)!

If you want to see some pictures please use the link on the left side! Hope it works out now and if not..let me know :-)

Hope you´re all doing good and since yesterday the internet connection at homes also works again what means that we could also do a Skype call!!! Let me know :-)

Alex
