Drinken & Drinken; Presenting the series

There will be several ongoing series that you can tune into. One is Drinken & Drinken. We have a group of colorful gents who like to pound the Eurobeer from morning until pass out time. They are here almost every day because our Albert Heijn brews the finest Eurobeer in the city. My favorite chap rides a 3 wheel scooter and always has a small parakeet on his shoulder. The parakeet likes to eat the back of his head which must have some kind of life sustaining cereal that flakes off.

Also look for Tramnation videos of angry 14 Tram drivers who are constantly blocked. Its a frustrating place to be blocked as its near the start/end of the tram line. Nothing worse than a downed scooter ruining your glorious triumph into town or a big bread truck keeping you from going home.


Kinder Sadness

I don't understand what happened but two days ago the whole area next to Wilde Zwijnen was cordoned off with police tape. There seemed to be a problem at the kindergarten, I think some children got hurt. Very very sad.

I got there too late to figure it out, normally when I see that many police and firemen they set up a coffee station but I guess when children are involved there is no coffee break.

I was in the North once near Dwingeloo and I watched firemen drinking coffee from a really nice catering truck while an old house burned down behind them.

Poor Old Chap


This sweet old man just tipped over. I am not sure what happened but I hope he is sitting peacefully with his Jack Russell in front of a fire. Its July but freezing.

Screams and touching

Tonight a woman screamed bloody murder. Its strange when you can't understand what people are saying. You just hear the distress. She was taken out of the Albert Heijn and surrounded by police. She was putting up a big fight. At one point an officer attempted to take her into custody and she imploded and started screaming all kinds of horror. They took her away and then spoke to one other woman, patted her down and took her away as well.

Perhaps the Albert Heijn was out of bread again.
