I meant to post earlier but kept getting "too many requests". And I only requested once. Mucho cooler here today - temps in the 30s. I could see my breath while huffing & puffing as I mowed the back yard. The plan was to mow the front tomorrow, but it's supposed to be even cooler & maybe snow a bit. Wifey was hoping not - several of her Iris plants are ready to bloom.
My Euro pals are off the militaria expo in Ciney Belgium tomorrow. Sure wish I was going with them, but my international travel days are pretty well over. I enjoyed the food pavilion there. They had a rotisserie pork stand selling piggy sammiches I really enjoyed. Had BBQ sauce on mine, but I found it odd the most popular condiment was honey.
Several beer stands, of course. Beer & pop were the same price = expensive. I had an orange Fanta to wash down my frites and watched a little girl - couldn't have been 13 or 14 - put her Euros on the counter. Bar lady handed her down one. Girl sat not far from me enjoying it & nobody blinked an eye. The rule seemed to be if you can reach the counter to lay down your money, you'll be served.
But they've got my list of stuff I'd like to get -mostly French RR medals - maybe a tiny hunting knife. We will see. SW

I'll get a pic of what I mean later on today. I leave it on the dining room table for use as letter opener and loose string trimmer. SW
