RE: Edge of the Beaver Island / Rand der Biberinsel
haha! howdy again sir Johannpiber! that is so funny. I don't know anyone who would think about using their guns if they got mad at someone. Of course there are a few unstable people out there who would, but they are very far and few in the population, inspite of the way the news tries to make it appear. lol.
For me, and everyone I know here, guns are strictly for defense of yourself, your family and your homestead. And of course, in the case where we were invaded by those mean Austrians for some reason we would have them for that. It's a constantly raging debate here in this country though as you may know.
But sir Johann..do you really see life as boring? I think only the work routine gets boring right? But you still have the nice walks in nature and photography and good food and family to enjoy, none of those things are boring!
Yes, I know about your weapon debates and I also respect your right to carry weapons - we are not used to seeing weapons in public, except with police or the military.
You can have weapons as many or as big as you want - they are useless when the Austrian Invaders come, because we are all little Arnolds, so you have no chance :)))
Sorry, @janton, I forgot to put a smiley behind the words ... sleep, wake up, work, sleep ... 😉 - my life is all, but not boring - sometimes I would need 48 hours a day for my hobby and for my family.
I don't want nothing to do with those Austrians, they are too fearful! lol. We want peace with the Austrians.
Oh ok, so life is not all boredom, good. What hobbies do you have, are you talking about mountain hiking and photography?
Peace 😉
Yes, @janton, hiking, walking, photographing ... as well as sitting at the computer and photo editing ... and, of course riding my bike soon again :)))
Howdy again sir johannpiber! Those are some very healthy hobbies. Lots of people having drinking or gambling as their hobbies. When it gets warm you will have lots of excuses to ride your bike, you can just say that you have to go find good shots for a post!
Haha, I have to wait for a few more weeks and I can ride again. I want to ride my bike, park it somewhere, go for a hike and take photos. My family will see me less than before, unless they acompany me by car and hike with me, hopefully at least sometimes.
oh sir johann I thought you liked to be alone on those hikes?
Dang, I just got 6 downvotes in a row. I was hoping they were stopping this nonsense! oh well we'll see how it plays out.
Good morning Jonboy, yes, I like to be alone, because then I can take my time for photographing and I can walk my speed, which is not the slowest.
I was told by my father who has grown up in the mountains (like I also did ;) and who has been on many mountain peaks around the world, that you have to walk the speed that you like most = walk your speed.
And I have made the experience, that he is right, because when I go without waiting for the others or without hurrying to follow the faster ones I don't get tired so soon.
So I walk my speed when I am alone or with people apart from my family (sometimes I go for hikes with friends or with colleagues), and when my family acompanies me, I walk with them to have some family fun :) But unfortunately that is not very often :(
I try to upvote every comment I get - does it make sense to still upvote yours when you get nothing (of nearly nothing)? Never mind, I do it anyway :)
