Things aren't (yet) quite as dire in Germany as in some countries, and I hope protests like the one I was in on Saturday help more than just the mood.

I feel you, German supermarket.

(I probably could have posted this in short bursts, but I'm not very clever)

In case you need support while believing your own eyes:

If I had a better camera (or knew how to use the one I have), you would be really impressed by the view from the supermarket parking lot this afternoon.

I first read this around 25 years ago and just decided to give it another look.
I also just decided to try this bluesky.
Probably a coincidence.
