A case of German brew is 20 bottles, which last me about 6 to 8 weeks, unless company comes and drinks it all up. It is just I have been here so long, I am not big on change. A lot of the European states here have rock old laws that were never to change, for the benifit of the people.

Like here in Bavaria, beer was to be held in a specific price range, kinda like the Egyptians, the beer was a source of nourishment not a crutch. For the longest time in France the bagette was never to cost more than 1 Franc.................I got here in January 1983, and this place grew on me. Except for two years at Ft Hood, and the 14 months I needed to go back to the US to get back on SOFA status (get a military job), I've been here most of my adult life.


The gas prices here have always been horrorific, but food staples, (und Deutsche Bier!) have always been pretty stable. It saddens me to see some of the few good laws, that are hundreds of years old change.
