Zurich... clean... cool... cash....

the subject is my description of Zurich. Now that that is outta the way... I've been mulling over life and timing... (and my traveling nick 'Mr.Lucky', which still holds true as described below... should I feel egotistically inclined to state so,which I do!)
ETA bombing at Madrid Airport a few days before arriving there
Catching and landing in Germany literally hours before the start of the BIG storm
Getting off the autobahn as news of the winds causing a truck on our section of the autobahn acting like a sail and toppling over causing serious issues!
Couple of hours here or there and things would/could be very different.I guess I'm stating the obvious and have no answers for the 27 people who didnt make it through yesterday's storm.Maybe its something I'm pondering as I'm not in the percieved safety of my home or once again witnessing and realizing the frailty of our 'normal' routine-oriented life.
I am passing my (wishing for) siesta time in a local Technology Institute called ETH and not paying the insane amount of approx CAD10/hour at an internet cafe thanks to some nice students of the Institute whom I was asking directions & travel advice for spending my afternoon whilst waitin' for 'P's girlfriend, 'B' who is working in downtown Zurich.

only in Zurich have I ever seen a sign where the SALE price is HIGHER than the regular price. :)
