Fallas During Monsoon Season

I was pedaling around for the first day of Fallas and happened upon this scene a block from my house. It made me laugh that they included an ambulance in the tableau, as if to warn kids of the dangers of bulls in the street, which, if you haven’t heard or seen, is actually a thing in Spain.

There were kids dressed up as doctors and nurses standing by, and one little guy in a suit told me he was the coroner. I thought that was going a bit too far, especially when he kept saying, "Forget the ambulance; call the meat wagon."

 

Perhaps my favorite Falla ever.

 The weather is still horrible.

Random Thoughts

They say that nothing in the world is as life-affirming as the laughter of a child. So true, as this video shows.

 

If I had a time machine, I would either go back and start playing the piano as a child, or I’d go back five years ago and talk myself out of trying to learn it again.

 

Maybe I'm a freak, but even when things are going great for me, the best part of my day comes with the first four or five sips of my morning coffee. Shit goes south after that, to what degree depends.

 

U.S. Defense Department officials are now saying that ISIS leader Abu Ibrahim al-Hashimi al-Qurayshi was killed at a gender reveal party gone wrong at his home in the town of Atmeh, Syria.

My Favorite Eierschalensollbruchstellenverursacher Tutorial

 

We’re* all busy these days, so if you only have time today to watch one eierschalensollbruchstellenverursacher tutorial, look no further. When I asked in a shop here in Spain about purchasing an eierschalensollbruchstellenverursacher, the woman called the vice squad on me. I can’t blame her because everything in German sounds dirty.

*Except me, I’m not busy at all, so stop by anytime if you want to drink beer and watch TV (please bring beer and a TV).
