Yup, and tomorrow's the day of heavily armed women. To all males: beware and be ready to ... surrender!

In my brother's institute in Heidelberg the boss deployed a general vacation suspension for Rosenmontag due to an important guest. The only exception was made for my brother; the boss understood that you can't do such a thing to a Rhinelander.

I'm working on an entry on the Wiener Opernball. Takes place next Thursday. I hope I'll have it done in time. Any useful sources anyone?

So, anyone doing anything special tomorrow?
I've finally caved in and agreed to take the Gruesomes to the local parade.
Since we live in such a huuuugggeee Metrolops it will take at least 5 minutes.
Helau/Alaaf (we use both here for some strange reason) to you all!
