How Did I Get Here?

· Leave a comment ·

There is a small explanation needed how I got from “Waxy” to an Ireland rugby jersey. Only a small one, really.

Frankfurt am Main has quite a few Irish pubs and we tried out a few but Waxy’s is the one we go to when we want to watch a rugby match. It hasn’t got as many screens as O’Reilly’s at the station, but it’s not as cramped as Mac Gowan’s on the Zeil, Frankfurt’s shopping street. And in the Anglo-Irish Pub in Sachsenhausen you sometimes have to argue with the English football fans if an interesting football game is on. Besides – Waxy’s has the easiest for parking for out-of-towners like us.

With Ireland doing well in this year’s Six Nations, Waxy’s was the first association that came to mind when I heard today’s prompt

Inchoate acts in the criminal sense are “incomplete offences”. These acts are not complete offences as they are performed in the process of the commission of the final crime.

But what was the crime? A grubby hand stealing a biscuit and the offender biting off a piece?

Or is the crime in progress that of a chocolate chip pacman about to devour a star?

A Big Chunk of Rock

· 3 Comments ·

A big chunk of perforated rock. The perforations are about 2000 years old. When the Romans discovered the Sea of Rocks (Felsenmeer) in the Odenwald they immediately saw its value and started to use the granite for their building projects. Since smaller chunks are easier to transport than huge rocks they started to work on the stones there and then in the middle of the forest. And sometimes they abandoned their work.
