In the supermarket the regular yogurt is located right next to the vanilla yogurt. The regular yogurt, which I like, also looks exactly like the vanilla yogurt, which I don't like.
If you don't pay close attention, you end up with the wrong yogurt in your shopping basket.
By the way, vanilla yogurt is different than Dutch vla.
Крадецът на праскови or The Peach Thief in English, is a Bulgarian roman about the doomed relationship between a colonel's wife and a prisoner of war.
The main part of the story is told in flashbacks to the World War I in Veliko Turnovo in Bulgaria. The story itself is straightforward but it is an entertaining read. The author does a fine job of describing the atmosphere of Bulgaria in that time, and it's a beautifully written book.
With one week to go to the elections the amount of political ads on TV is getting spectacular.
Not only are Mr. McCain and Mr. Obama on air all the time (Obama had a special 30 minute add on 7 networks last night), but there are lots of other political races as well.
There's Ms. Dole versus Ms. Hagan, running for the Senate, in a race that is seeing increasingly nasty ads, for example about "godless" Ms. Hagan.
There will be more than 25 votes to cast next Tuesday, for President and Governor of course, but also for Commissioner of Agriculture and Commissioner of Insurance, among others.
Oh, it's definitely getting colder. Tonight I ran from 7 pm to 8 pm, and the temperature was in the mid 40's. Still, I could go in my regular outfit. I should consider wearing a cap or a thicker T-shirt when it gets colder.
I did my 1 hour course, without the scary part near the ring place (it was really dark). I was at the traffic light after 54:30 minutes.
My passport is about to expire and I went to the Dutch Consulate to renew it. There is a honorary consul for the Netherlands in Raleigh, a friendly Dutch business man who provides consular services. I'm glad he's here, otherwise I'd have had to go to Washington D.C., a 5 hour drive from here.
The Dutch, American and North Carolinian flag stood next to each other in the hallway, and the office had pictures of Dutch landscapes and of Queen Beatrix.
This year's bureaucratic experiences have made me cautious but it looks like this passport renewal will be fairly quick and efficient; it should be about 3 weeks.
It's busy at work; there's a release coming up and that always brings long hours with it. It's a fun release though; the first one after 1.0 so there's finally some time to put in features that I had to postpone in 1.0 release a couple of months ago.
This Friday it's Halloween, this weekend I'm running a half marathon, next Tuesday are the elections and then it's my birthday.
