Hanover is way up north, I was only there once and that was as a civilian. You know, maybe their beer is at 40* room temperature, but they cope with the down comforter which is not like I have a couple of. Even the Gasthouses have a comforter that is at least a foot thick which they hang out the wind ow every morning. But you need it because you won't get much heat in the room.

I was attached to Seventh Army which was basically situated in the Rhineland. Southern, in the American zone, you might say it is the German Riviera. Don't kid yourself, summers in Germany are very pleasant. Once in a while we might go to Strasbourg, in France which, as I recall was maybe 25-30 miles from Karlsruhe. There is no doubt that France is a dirtier country than Germany, you would see trash and litter which you would not see in Germany.

Every car in France has yellow headlights. Don't ask me why? But also, Germans have a friggin' death wish on the Autobahn, speed, something Paul would relate to. I don't care how bad the weather there will be some huge Audi or Mercedes rolling down the fast lane at 200 clicks and you better get out of the way when they flip their brights at you. They really are nuts! I think our trucks were restricted to 45MPH, or somewhere around 60 kilometers. Most Americans use common sense at night and in rain or snow, but not Germans. They really do think they are immortal, but they are stupid, the government says we can go as fast as we want and by God, we will go as fast as we want! The accidents are monumental, sometimes stretch for miles as they keep plowing around a curve or over a hill and there it is! EEK! Mox Nix, as they say.

another thing, Germans fight like girls! We could beat up Germans every night until it got boring....and I wonder why they hated us? No, but really, there is something a bit effeminate about German men. A little hard to explain, but you will see it, and no wonder that their women preferred G.I.'s. That right there is reason enough for the bit of hostility displayed.

I could never consider actually living in Germany. Even their stuck in their ways, like on Wednesday you can go to a shop because that's market day. Every other day, you were shit out of luck if you couldn't get off work because the shops shut down, I don't know, 5 o'clock or so, maybe 4? And like here, now, the stores charge 10 cents for a bag to put your purchases in. In Germany, it's always been that way! That's why they all carry their Schnitzel Bag, just put you tomatoes in there, or walk out with a roll of TP stuck in your pocket. And, TP is sold bu the roll, none of this 6 packs stuff. They do not know what soft TP is, it's all brown and hard and not comfortable, at all. Germans rely on cologne because they do not bathe every day. Maybe these things have changed somewhat, but they were the original hippy chicks, do not shave arms or legs. If they wore pantyhose, the hair on the legs looks like wet, I promise, females have hairy legs, something we do not see much of in America. Yeah, our women have hairy legs but they keep them under control. In the larger cities, it would be different than in the little Burgs. Funny, but I don't remember Mexican women not shaving their legs? Because when they don't, it is very obvious. Might be the Indian influence, Mexicans are mixed, Spanish and Mexican Indian. Mestistos I think might be the proper word?
edit: it's mestizo
Whatever
Good hunting. El Bee

The eastern sierra is one of the most beautiful places on earth ! We used to go at least once a
year and take the children fishing the streams with my boys was like nothing else ! i used to set up mini rigs and catch and release trout about 2 inches long it was a hoot ! Also caught the biggest browns you ever saw in those little creeks 1

You know, everybody rolling up 395 passes Lake Diaz and we always liked Pleasant Valley Reservoir and Convict, Sabrina, Crowley and Intake #2. It's kinda fun just following your nose and taking what was available, as far as access. But if you have the time and aren't all fished out, Lake Diaz has some peaceful camping spots and there's enough rainbows of good size to keep it interesting. We had a rather small boat that was just perfect with a trolling motor, one year and caught as many nice fish as we wanted with that killer spoon called Thomas Buoyant. I'm thinking of one memorable trip with three generations in that rig for a week. It was very nice!

Good hunting. El Bee

We hiked into the backside of Tinnamaha (sp?) Res. one time to bowfish for carp. Pretty awesome day of shooting carp and bumping Tule Elk.
Hard to believe how they've screwed that whole state up.

You speak of the hotel at Little Lake, correct? That was pretty sad. I've been in that place many times and way back when. It had a lot of authentic charm. Last time I drove by, it was a disgusting smear on the offramp, not worth stopping, that's for sure.

The Owens Valley is a neat place, I know all those towns and all the restaurants, like Jack's Waffle House in Bishop. There are some lunker fish hanging on the walls. Shat's Bakery (sp) is worth stopping for a loaf of bread, if heading home. Mule days is a trip! That Giggle Springs is the cheapest gas.

Good Hunting. El Bee
