Slowly

Lichtenberg's monument at Stade, where he worked as King George's surveyor
Blogging? I shall do it carefully. I know a little about making websites, including HTML and CMS, but I have yet to gain experience in blogging.
  
In my blogs, I would like to park all stuff that does not fit directly into my other activities. There will always be a justification, an explanation, or an excuse, followed by my odd thoughts, funny observations, and strange pictures. 

I shall model my blogs to the famous Sudelbücher (blotters) that my favorite author and admired co-physicist Georg Christoph Lichtenberg used to scribble in at the end of the 18th century.

Why do I blog in English? 

First, I like my international friends, particularly those from Freiburg's sister city, Madison, WI, to share these odd thoughts, funny observations, and strange pictures. 

The second reason is that I want to improve my composing skills in English, the language I have worked in for over 32 years.

Please enjoy Red Baron, aka Manfred.
