I guess those crafty Europeans have found a way around that problem.

It's a cost/benefit thing. I talked to someone
living in a German city who was a regular
Schwarzfahrer and worked it out that he came out
somewhat ahead on average with the occasional E50
penalty; But then he was a white (relatively
unlikely to get stopped) American (relatively
shameless and could plead ignorance if he had to).
was there last fall, after you guys dumped me off in Toulouse...
I travelled exclusively by train. Of the 14 train legs I rode (and
paid for),
I had my ticket looked at 5 times (35.7% of the time), income without
labor to
verify.
On the train train Lilli and I get checked
almost every time. On the S- or U-Bahn not
so much. The one notable time we didn't get
checked we were the only two passengers in
the first-class cabin of the TGV (this was
in France), and presently some interloper
came sneaking on. Eventually the train person
came into the compartment - but did not check
anything!

out what I'll do with the white meat, though.
Chop it up, add lots of mayo and spread it on brea...oh wait, never mind. Rottsa Ruck.
Two things to do with the white meat.
1. Poach in butter to cover halfway. Flip. I
would have used butter to cover, but that
would have been a profligacy. That served two.
2. Poach in a mixture of butter, sherry, and
stock until just pink inside. Remove the meat
to a warm oven, then make a sauce of the liquid
plus a bunch of cream. That served two with
leftovers for one.
3. Either make Chinese food or throw it out.
Haven't decided which.
I've decided to go ahead with the Africa trip.
Good, I think. Did you talk with Lilli about
South Africa?
