Ich habe das mit dem Autofahren schon sehr früh aufgegeben. Eng, weisst nie, wo Du die Knie hintun sollst, kein Platz für Mitreisende und Gepäck und dann zerzaust Dir der Fahrtwind ständig die Haare.
Ok, Letzteres hat sich vor einiger Zeit von alleine geregelt. 🤷‍♂️😂

Unter anderem weil am Freitag laut MeteoSchweiz der erste Schnee in Zürich fallen soll, habe ich mein #BromptonElectricGLine heute Abend (naja, eher Spätnachmittag, war aber schon nach Sonnenuntergang) zum #Velofix gebracht zum

I don't think I'm ever going to enjoy gifts.
I can get why people would give them to children. After all, children don't have their own budget. However, I'm talking about occasional gifts, not a new toy every second week, because "we must outcompete the other grandparents". But to adults?
Once I've heard that you should gift people with what they won't buy themselves. Well, that's won't work for me. I'm a minimalist. If I don't need something, I don't want to have it. Unnecessary junk is only emotional burden to me.
I can get why you'd enjoy something handmade. But something people bought? If I need something, I can buy it myself, when I need it. And I definitely don't need people to prove to me that they never cared to learn who I am, and just buy whatever they like or whatever is "fashionable"; which usually means exactly the opposite of what I'd prefer (i.e. something minimalistic). Or even worse, I don't need people manipulating me through gifts.
Sweets? Besides my diabetes, I don't really enjoy expensive shit that people generally buy because it's what's advertised. For the money they waste on it, I'd buy three times as much sweets I'd actually enjoy.
Gift cards? Oh yes, "you aren't supposed to give money, so let's just give the equivalent of money that's actually worth less than money". Actual money? And here we reach the true nonsense; we exchange the same amount of money, so it's just pointless gesture. Unless one of us gives less money…
What I'd really like, as a gift? Maybe that people would finally bother accepting me as who I am. The absolute minimum of caring that I hate consumerism, and not fueling it "for me".

Rigging Democracy: Supreme Court Approves Racial Texas Gerrymander, Handing Trump Midterm Advantage
The conservative majority on the U.S. Supreme Court has cleared the way for Texas to use a gerrymandered congressional map in next year’s midterm elections that a lower court found racially discriminatory. The 6-3 ruling is another political win for President Donald Trump and his allies, who have gotten a number of favorable rulings from the justices after being stymied by lower courts. Trump has asked Republican-led states to redraw their maps in order to preserve the narrow GOP majority in …

Die Tauperiode war nur kurz, heute äh gestern gab's schon wieder #Neuschnee. Und wieder: Die Türen der #Ente ließen sich ohne Probleme aufschließen (Schneebesen und Eiskratzer waren innendrin 🤪) und sie sprang ohne rumzuzicken an.

Als erstes ging es heute in Richtung Kameoka, um von dort mit einer touristischen Bahn durch die Schlucht des #Katsura-Fluss nach Arashiyama zu fahren. Andere waren abenteuerlicher und nahmen einen Kahn durch die Stromschnellen.
In #Arashiyama gab es als erstes den berühmten Bambuswald zu sehe…
