Dang. It sucks to be you.

Not sure if that can be considered a polite response under any
circumstance even in the US hinterland (gotta brush up those language
skills), but I'm quite happy being me, thank you.


It's ok Thomas. You see...

Oh wait! Thomas, playing off the exacting image of German language, just
pulled one (back) on Jay.

"It sucks to be you." I looked and looked, but can not find that phrase's
origins - from TV or a movie is my guess. Wayne's World?

19 percent VAT or sales tax, plus about 30 percent "mineral oil

Same amount for every liter of car fuel. 3.8 liters per US gallon). NOt
sure if there are any other taxes on it.


Wow, that's 2.50 Euro tax + 19% sales tax on top per gallon. Sounds like
the government is the big winner all the way around.

No problem -- a wrench works --
but you have to deflate the front tire in order to get it past the
brake. (No quick-release on the caliper, either.) Because of this,
we threw our battery-powered air pump in the plane...

Can't you just remove the brake pads? (I ride a cheap bike, so maybe better
brake pads don't just come off with a 3/8" wrench)
