> "Barbarus hic ego sum, qui non intelligor ulli."

> "Hier bin auch ich nur Barbar, weil niemand mich

That reminds me of this line in Eliot's Wasteland,
a demonstration that he is not then a barbarian:

> Summer surprised us, coming over the Starnbergersee   
> With a shower of rain; we stopped in the colonnade,   
> And went on in sunlight, into the Hofgarten,   10 
> And drank coffee, and talked for an hour.   
> Bin gar keine Russin, stamm' aus Litauen, echt deutsch.

Also, wrong P vs p in url on this, s/b:

Also, bad writing... http://tinyurl.com/beute
> "As he stared at her ample bosom,
>  he daydreamed of the dual Stromberg carburetors
>  in his vintage Triumph Spitfire," he wrote,
>  comparing a woman's breasts to
> "small knurled caps of the oil dampeners."

Seems to me to resemble P fiction, and my real life.

Also, just back from my week vaction in the mid-east,
or is it the mid-west (Minneapolis, MN).

My conclusion: Nothing in the middle, just a big mall.
