I seem to recall reading a while back that the Trabant, also
affectionately
known as the "Trabbie", suffered the brunt of many mean jokes by the
East
Germans who used them. My favorite involved a Trabbie getting stuck on
a
piece of gum at a traffic light. 8-)

therese (Therese):
Bits and pieces, bits and pieces.
People.
People important to you, people unimportant to you cross your
life. Touch it with love and carelessness and move on.
There are people who leave you and you breathe a sigh of relief
and wonder why you ever came into contact with them.
There are people who leave you and you breathe a sigh of remorse
and wonder why they had to go away and leave such a gaping hole.
Children leave parents; friends leave friends, acquaintances
grow apart.
Enemies hate and move on.
Friends love and move on.
You think of the many who have moved into your hazy memory.
You look on those present and wonder.
I believe in God's master plan in life. He moves people in and
out of each other's lives, and each leaves his mark on the
other. You find you are made up of bits and pieces of all who
ever touched your life, and you are more because of it, and you
would be less if they had not touched you.
Pray to God that you accept the bits and pieces, in humility and
wonder, and never question and never regret.
Bits and pieces, bits and pieces.
- L. Channey

A: Gee, Dad, how can we reduce our exposure to ELF fields?
B: Here, son, I bought this booklet. It says that we should remove the
Omega navigation beacon from the attic.
A: Aww, do we have to? All the kids like the neat way the TV screen flashes
when it's not turned on.
B: The book says it's got to go. Also, that cyclotron in the basement is
going to be a problem.
A: The cyclotron? But how will I be able to finish my science fair project
on the lanthanide series?
B: Maybe you'll be able to borrow the neighbor's particle accelerator. Doesn't
Bobby have that nice synchrotron he got for christmas?
A: Yeah. But how come we gotta get rid of the cyclotron but the MiG welder
can stay?
B: I don't know... hmm... it doesn't say anything about it in here. But I
guess since the MiG system has heavily energized coils operating above the
audio band that it could be a problem. Gosh, I sure hate to get rid of
that.
A: Yeah, and if that's a problem, I bet the MRI scanner in your mother's
sewing room would be even worse.
B: We can't get rid of that, and live like those primitive men we saw in the
museum!
A: I'm sorry son, but that's the price you have to pay. As technology advances,
bringing with it newfound benefits, the dangers also increase. It's a matter
of balancing the benefits with the problems, and striking a happy medium.
For every man, that medium will be different, and we just have to find the
one that's right for us.
