Captain's Log:

Wow, this will be my fourth day in a row posting on this site...that is amazing.

Anyway, I had a couple things to write about, but I forgot what they were...

Oh yes,

1. I am probably going to Holland next year at the end of July. I will be going to coach a basketball team made up of the most well behaved and talented athletes in Melbourne. The trip will be totally paid for, and all I have to do is watch a couple of teenagers while I am there. More on this story as it develops.

2. One of the monitors that I ordered was shipped yesterday, so I should be recieving that in a couple of days. Then I can replace this massive, hidious CRT on my desk that is hording desktop space.

I believe that is all, though if I think of something else really good before the end of the post, there may be a number three.

Current Events:

I have a few opinions on this immigration issue which is so pervasively invading our newspaper columns and news airtime.

Illegal immigration should be stopped and we should throw all of the illegal immigrants out of the country right now who refuse to become full citizens. Deport them and tell them that if they want to come back, they will have to become an english-speaking citizen of the United States. In no other country in the world is it possible for a group of people to flock to and say, "We are going to need you to change and start placing the text on your product and directions and just about everything in our language so we can live there." When I went to Germany, I saw many Americans getting upset because the Germans that were helping them could not speak English. That is ridiculous. You cannot just walk into someone else's country and expect them to know your language so that you can get what you want. It is fine if they only speak German, that is the language of the country, and they should not have to learn one word in English. Too bad if the American tourist has to learn some German to get by in the country he or she is visiting. I am done with this expose on languages and countries, but this whole immigration thing is ridiculous. If you are not a citizen, either become one or leave.

As far as the NBA playoffs...I don't care.

I am not taking classes this summer...at least I do not think that I am since the final day to sign up for them was last Wednesday...

Day 3 - Munich and Dachau

We left Rothenburg at about 8 in the morning and drove to Munich, where we had lunch and climbed the tallest tower in the city for a Euro...to much if you asked me. I did get some good pictures from up there though. After a couple of hours, we boarded the bus and took off to Dachau, the concentration camp. Very unsettling. We spent three hours there and we toured the grounds and the museum. Once we were through, we climbed onto the bus again and slept our way to Garmish where we were to spend five whole days, touring the countryside and eating in pastry shops (by far the best part). That night, Bro. Jeff gave devotions and the guys quartet sang the song they won the state finals with. I had a hard time keeping Michael in the room that night...mostly because I was asleep when he left. I fixed that the rest of the time, by locking the door from the inside and hiding the key. That worked quite nicely. That is about all for the third day of the trip.

To Be Continued...

All right then, that will be all for now. I will be back; maybe tomorrow, to set a record five straight posts!

Later,

Lorimer
