Penedos, Tractor, HBM

Acho que é profundamente negativo num mundo em que há que dar esperança com um sorriso e não com tristezas vãs. No meu país diz-se que tristezas não pagam dívidas, espero que o deepl traduza isto bem para alemão... eu escolho o sorriso com maiúsculas positivas, não com minúsculas redutoras... cada um como cada qual, também se diz por cá.

Guess this one's owner will keep it rusting there... it was her fathers and when he passed he left the tractor in the very same place, about 20 years ago...

sigh......

what is communication?
Whenever (almost) you talk to others, you've got something to tell - a fact, an information, an expression of your feelings, establishing of relationships, affirming others...
but ALWAYS you talk about yourself, too. It's not only the fact, the information, the maintenance of social relationship - it's always talking about yourself...

And then there is the dichotomy meaning and form. One can deliver a information in many different ways - and again, by choosing one certain way one always delivers information about oneself, too.
One can give wishes in lower or upper cases, Roman, Cyrillic, Kanji, Hangul, Arab...
the meaning is always the same.

20 minutes ago I read an article in a newspaper about business dress codes. The author told me that your dress shows your respect for your counterpart. And I thought: Bullshit, it only shows what I am comfortable with.
Not everything that looks like an offence is one.
Errors result in most cases in unexpressed (if not unconscious) expectations.

And now the ol' man goes back to his beer.... ;-)
