As promised, today we have a slow German train. The misleadingly named Rasender Roland, or Racing Roland, on the island of Rügen. The Rasender Roland is a narrow-gauge train that winds it's way back and forth across the island. In truth, the Roland doesn't move all that fast. When my father was a kid he would catch a ride by running up to the train and jumping on.
The train has been on the island for more than a century. At one time it was an important means of transportation -the presence of the line was what enabled the resort towns to grow- but today it is mostly for tourists.
I hope nobody minds the lack of a theme in the recent posts. I'm in a random mood.
Here are the search terms several people used to find this site today:
- heroin slang on craigslist (because I write so much about heroin and craigslist?)
- tien mao shannan
- mr. met email (Mr. Met loves fan mail. Rumor has it he will make an appearance soon.)
- what about the plastic animals
- calories in a capogiro mozzarella and peppers sandwich
- simone perrotta's wedding
- taste of dinosaur meat
- bat cave riverside drive upper manhattan
- tien jake wedding (I didn't even know they were dating!)
And might I just say that posting videos to Typepad via VideoEgg really stinks. Sorry if you got this post four times in your RSS feeds.
