@radiolemans.bsky.social Thanks for posting on Bluesky this year! Just heard the promo. Listening from the Forest Esses with a tiny radio receiver and Bluetooth transmitter.

A small FM/DAB receiver tuned to "R. LEMANS", which is directly connected to a compact Bluetooth transmitter. In the background is a blurry view of Tertre Rouge at the Circuit de La Sarthe.

Great turnout at the No Kings rally in Munich! The march spanned a couple blocks, quite impressive! My King Felix sign makes an appearance, once again.

The No Kings stage at Odeonsplatz in Munich. The covered stage has a couple of No Kings flags hanging from it, and ample loud speakers for the speeches and musical performances. A couple of signs are visible in the crowd, including one reading "Resist Fascism". There are maybe 50-75 viewable in the shot, and another 150-200 behind the photo at the point, 12:00pm. A lot of passersby were looking on due to the prominent location in the touristy inner city area of Munich.

The author's sign, reading "No Kings except King Felix, Go Mariners!". The march is headed Eastward down Maximilianstraße, passing a tram, and escorted by a police car.

The march turns the corner from Maximilianstraße to Karl-Scharnagl-Ring. It stretches about a block and a half, with conservatively high three digit participation. Turnout was still much better than I expected after the last event in Nuremberg. Visible signs read "Impeach, Remove, Convict, Repeat" and "Nope"

The march pauses briefly at the US Consulate in Munich (out of shot to the left). Confused passersby occupy the sidewalk. A couple hundred people are visible in the shot. Visible signs read "Stay salty, melt ICE" and "No DHS, no ICE".

This weekend's adventure: took the train over the Brenner pass to Bologna for a weekend of sports car racing at Imola. Tough luck for Cadillac Team Jota so far today. #WEC #Imola

The subject, me, pictured enjoying an Austrian beer on a train. Out the window, we see vineyards and rolling hills in South Tyrol.

A view from the grandstand at the Tosa curve at the Imola circuit. The picture shows a significant elevation gain up the hill towards the Acque Minerali complex.

It's another #TrainDay! And a flying day too, but we'll get to that later. Leg 1 was on this DB Class 612 from Augsburg to Immenstadt. I love these trains; loud, rattle-y, and diesel powered. Their secret weapon is the ability to tilt into corners. Well adapted to the curvey routes in the Allgäu.

I've abandoned Insta+Facebook, which has the plus side for followers here that you now get to enjoy my train travel updates. Today I'm headed to Stuttgart from Augsburg on this beautiful Stadler KISS 200, operated by WestBahn, a private operator from Austria.

The exterior of a Stadler KISS 200, a double decker EMU. The paint scheme is a pleasant white and baby blue, with a thick black frame around the windshield. Anti-climbers and a Scharfenberg couple protrude from the front. On the right, mostly obscured by the WestBahn train is the side of a Bombardier Twindexx Vario (DB Class 445) painted in DB's signature "traffic red" color.

The interior of the top deck of the Stadler, showing the (faux?) leather seats along with the curved roof and tiny (useless) luggage racks. I would have liked to get a better shot, but didn't want to include any faces in the image.

Tonight's NFL beer in Germany is adorned by a "cup gnome" -- a "Tassenwichtel".

Kamala and Donkey pumpkins are still looking okay, even three weeks later! We had a couple inches of snow accumulation last night in Augsburg.

Two pumpkins sit on a small outdoor table on an outdoor rooftop deck. A dusting of about 5 cm / 2 in of snow covers the pumpkins, table, and an assortment of plants. Snowy rooftops peek over the wall of the deck. The left pumpkin features the carving ",la", which when spoken outloud sounds like Kamala. The right pumpkin is a donkey, representing the Democratic party. It used to have a row of stats through its body (as often pictured), but that part has already rotted away.

Put it on the board!! Apple reviewed our MacOS app update today in 4 hours and 6 minutes, which I'm pretty sure is an all time record in my entire history of dealing with the App Store.

A dry erase white board with the text "Fastest Apple Review: 4 Hours, 6 minutes -2024.03.07". The text is in red pen with bad handwriting, and is enclosed by a lumpy rounded rectangle. Above this is a similar field with the text "Cups forgotten by [illegible]", and below that four tally marks.

It's a train travel day! Leg 1 is on RB 77 from Augsburg to Buchloe.

An Alstom LINT 41 operated by the Bayerische Regiobahn parked at platform 12 at Augsburg Hauptbahnhof. The train is carrying a white and blue paint job - the colors of Bayern!

The interior of an Alstom LINT 41. The train is relatively new and in great condition, with blue seats and a white (or very light grey) interior.
