We noticed our appartment in Prenzlauer Berg (in Berlin) had ping-pong paddles. Now we know why. Just up the street is a small park with three tables. We have since passed another park with tables. We’ve bought some balls…

How To Get Rid of Smokers
The Germans have figured it out.
David and the Android
David, focused on his phone while we had coffee after lunch on Thursday. It wasn’t all phone, though. We did talk.

Nice Day on Bridge St.
A number of business on Bridge St. (the main drag) in Carleton Place have benches out front where locals can sit, soak up some sun and socialize.
