(I edited this to take the personal stuff out, but this is in reply to an e-mail I sent to German friend who has also lived and worked in the US but is back working there in Mainz.) Enjoy :D
--------------------------------------------------------------------- Greetings! How sweet of you to think of us in “the old“ Europe. Yes, everybody I know wishes you had kept your minority president over there. The entire town of Mainz is shut off, people have to take leave because they either can’t get to work or are unable to return home. Business has almost closed down, and the airport ceased to function – just because of … George (I am refraining from the use of bad words). However, I am glad you expressed your sentiments and that there are in fact millions of Americans who have not lost their senses.
I was actually quite thrown off my (at times ridiculous) championship of the US. Now, I’ll not ban my American style decoration from the new house and think of the future when the next administration is elected. (Thank God Papa Bush isn’t in the cheese business, or his insipid son would be waging war at Holland which is only a few miles from my home.) Tomorrow the Cowboy will be in Poland to visit his buddies in “the new” Europe. They have emptied a 200-room manor hotel for him and, I’m sure, have the entire remaining military force there to ward off harm (and demonstrations).
Lots of Good Wishes,
XXXXX
