We're uncovering all kinds of interesting things as we sort through paper piles during this packing process. Read on for a cleverly written, "Germlish" (German-English mix) email that Grady wrote to a friend on a Friday afternoon back in 2004 when the rain clouds had rolled in, yet again ruining their plans for an outdoor weekend. It touches on many areas of truth in Dresden culture, from Saturday shopping chaos to the doubled costs when the Euro replaced the DeutschMark. Viel Spass!
Guten Tag meine Damen und Herren,
I am your Weather Fuehrer with another Weekend outlook for our beautiful Deutsches Herbst Weather. Our Friday "rain for the weekend" came right on time today as it should at 14:00 precisely, setting the stage for yet another traditional German weekend (as dictated by the counselor for Weather Affairs and the "Weather for Earth: We will FORCE you to like it" program.) Low lying, soggy clouds have been attracted to the area and will expect to remain until, of course, Montag morning at 7:00 sharp when it will be bright and sunnier than ever. Unless the Counselor has a change in positive attitude he will continue with his course, forcing his negativity on all those under the Fuehrer's jurisdiction, which will expect to keep the German economy on the move with the exhorbitant gas prices and "running around like a rat race" Samstag consumer program. Consumers will, as every Samstag, be expected to be worn out, moody, and from our strategically designed "KeinWasserGratis" infrastructure, pay incredibly absurd amounts of EUROs to drink something with bubbles in it. The 1:1 DM to Euro switch continues to provide acceleration to the economic reform with shop owners exclaiming, "I can't believe my profits have doubled" motto. As always, this is your Fuehrer, Helmut Schwindler, saying, "If you don't know what I knows you'll be paying through the nose!" See you next Freitag when once again the BundesWetterKontrolle Program will be activated at 14:00 und bis dann, Auf Wiederssssssehhhhhhhennnnnn!!!

OOOOhhhh this is very lustig and there is sogar a wenig truth dabei, weil Saturday, das war gestern, I woke up with a komische kind of migraine: I hardly could hear anything. My first Gedanke was I had an acute hearing loss aber it is besser today...
So diesen Saturday I was really worn out... thanks for the perfekte Vorhersage. :-)))
(p.s.: it is DIE Bundeswetterkontrolle ;-)
