Ok, these are my pictures. The USB connection is working!!!!! I am in the process of FTPing the pictures over to my brother. Note the domai n name of the site you are on. It's called FTPer.com. I was planning o n making an FTP program and calling it FTPer. Maybe I should do that s ome time.
For those of you who didn't know, my brother and father came to visit me in Germany. So, the pictures with them are actual pictures from Ge rmany.
Speaking of which, here is my Dad climbing into his nice 300SL. The c ar only costs $150,000. Ok it's not his, and he's not actually getting in. Whatever:

Ok, she's not technically a roommate, because we don't live in the sa me room (only the same floor). But to the Germans the idea of 2 people sharing a bedroom is crazy, so the standard translation of Mitbewohne r is "Roommate" (more litereally "with-liver". Note, this picture was taken as she was leaving back to Italy):

Germans like their holidays, but I guess they need to prove that they were on holiday:

There is actually a UConn curse. UConn is always under construction. 3 UConn students got sent to 2 student housing complexes in Freiburg. Both weren't under construction at arrival. Both are now. Spooky, huh? :

That's a great idea! I bet it doesn't say anywhere in US laws that the Surgeon General's Warning has to be in English. In fact, you could probably name a brand of cigarettes "Horrible Death" in German, and market them to Americans. How do you say "Horrible Death" in German, anyway?
How's the guitar?
That is a sweet SL. I think you should mail me one. Oh, wait, I'm going to be in Benin. Hey, how long would it take you to travel to France?
