Really just testing out the build.

I tried integrating activity pub “comments” on this blog over the weekend, but didn’t quite get it working.

Just making sure I didn’t screw up the works.

Nancy and I are both at home today, so maybe an evening update since I don’t have a commute.

Have a decent Monday.

Schlappen

JW Blog
9 months 2 weeks ago
Schlappen JW Tue, 07/04/2023 - 17:22

As an exchange student on my own, this was basically my home. 

I worked in the marketing dept for ITT-Intermetall and after a post work nap, we usually headed downtown from Gundelfingen.

My group of friends hung out in the back corner booth.

It seats 10.

Schlappen had personal pizzas and that was pretty much what I ate.

It was the definition of a dive bar.

I loved it.

If walls could talk, they might reveal the secret why crowds of students have been visiting the "Schlappen" for decades. Then they would be able to tell endless stories and events that took place inside the historic building with a latrine from the 11th century, between antique furniture and antiquated theater posters. year in, year out. But walls are known to be mute. It is certainly not only the charm of the past years that clings to the slippers, but the pulsating life that takes place in the three guest rooms every day. Then when the swinging door opens and the guests pour into the pub. From morning until late at night, 365 days a year. Here students mainly serve students as an audience, with selected background music.

 

Carousel

Our Corner. With Lights

Fancy view

In my day, no light, no door or expansion.

Hot Dog Cooker Flashbacks JW Sun, 01/08/2023 - 04:56

The I will now open the pickles Tik Tok reminded me of when my old man helped me with a science fair project for 5th grade.

I think I've mentioned it.

Mine had a wooden base with the nails protruding.

The hotdog cooked in a few seconds. ;)

Ms. Tuttle tried to kill me by plugging it in while I was putting the hot dog on.
