Another sunny day in Cologne. The instant messages assaulting this poor bear on the "free internet" connection that is costing Her .15 Euros a minute are becoming annoying. Also the banner that keeps popping up telling me to do something with my browser (this bear's German is only minimally passable--not many ice floes bring us into German territory as we're wandering the Arctic, you know). Ah, but at least it's a connection, and She lets me check in here, so I shouldn't complain.
