Actually 4 ( 5th was not at the terrain) people died and over 100 wounded, 11 of them seriously and three of them are still critical. In fact this
had his influence on any other open air festival throughout Europe and maybe world. In fact today there was a warning again for thunderstorms and a
nearby jazzfestival stopped (Jazz in Catstown) and some horseracings were canceled.
We were in the center today but nothing happend.

he's being a big jerk to B over in the zforum the last week. Of course she's the smart one, put him on ignore. Unfounded tantrum on his part from
what I can tell.
Ed - that storm has to be unsettling to see as you're not accustomed to them. Some here would say global warming could be a factor. The thing is
there is no way to really protect from the hazards they bring.

Yeah, Cleon's normally OK but he's been drinking way too much.
We're having another horrible thunderstorm out here. Half an hour ago, at 11:10 AM, it suddenly became very dark, and since then it's been rain, wind
and thunder. It's been calmer now although there is still rain and lightning, but vision was very low a couple of minutes ago.

So is this weather you're having normal for Holland this time of year, or is it freak weather?

This weather is not all that unusual, but it is for August. Usually we have around three flood days per year, partially due to high ground water
level.
I just slapped a video together I'm uploading, hope you'll enjoy it.

The give-away store is a wondrous thing. I try to come there every Wednesday (they're only open two days a week), with Efteling and Best I hadn't been
a while, and when I came there, some things in their policy had changed:
-Number of items you are allowed to take away went up from 3 to 5
-They don't accept clothes anymore, they've been overflooded with textile.
What had stayed is that copy they had of The Double by Dostoyevski in Spanish.

That's a weird shop you have there. Nothing like that around here. How do they make a living and pay the rent?

They're squatters. Nowadays squatting is illegal here, but the idea surfaced when you could just inhabit a place that had been empty for a year
(provided there were no plans with it. It would mean you'd have to break in first, and that is illegal, so you basically had to get as many people as
you can to cover you up, and when you got in the building you call the police, they declare it empty and then you were a legal inhabitant). These
squatters do have a contract with the building's owner. If the owner decides to step out, they'll just move elsewhere.

Had a bit of a struggle with my father. He kept nagging he watned some soup, but there wasn't any, so I got dressed to go out and get some. Dad felt
guilty, locked all the doors and bicycles, then hid the keys. I managed to get out and bought him some soup.

BTW
Dear Bonny, I know you are plundering the archives of newspapers. Beware of the fact that Eindhovens Dagblad has digitalised all papers. You can not
reach it by internet but for free from the premises of the Regional Historic Center Eindhoven at the raiffeissenstraat. That is aprox. 3 km from your
headphones

Boy, it's quieter than usual around here. Just thought I'd say hello so you weren't the only one posting here Bonny. Funny comic. I'm stressed at the
moment about assessment and reports at school.
