I almost felt like yodeling but I refrained.

Yesterday was sort of a free day. I did work early, but took time off to relax a little. My Translator/assistant suggested that I visit the area of Colmar and I figured I needed to ignore the fact that I am driving a manual car and that the city was accessed across the mountains with…
