Getting Trashy on the Train, Euro-style

This morning we leave our comfortable little flat here in Granada on a five-hour train ride to Madrid were we will have about eight hours to catch some of the sights and maybe even check out a bullfight. Then we're taking an overnight train to Lisbon, Portugal and shaking up with Char's aunt and uncle. It will be the last of her vast family that we will be visiting here in Europe.

We're only hanging out in Lisbon for a day or two and then we're going to make the long train journey all the way to Slovenia, stopping at intervals along the way.

So there was actually nothing trashy about our train at all. It was more like a 5-star hotel on rails. We even had a private room and a free breakfast. Definitely a good star to Portugal. We are in a beautiful suburb of Lisbon now and we´ll be here until Thursday night when we take another night train back to Madrid and then on to Barcelona.

Policy

In the beginning was the Plan.
Then came the Assumptions.

But the Assumptions were without form, And the plan was completely without substance.

And the darkness was upon the faces of the workers. So they spoke unto their group heads, saying: "It is a crock of shit, and it stinketh!"

And the group heads went unto their section heads, and sayeth: "It is a pail of dung, such that none can stand it!"

And the section heads went unto their managers, and sayeth unto them: "It is a container of excrement, and it is very strong, such that none here may abide the odour therof."

And the managers went unto their Director, and sayeth unto him: "It is a vessel of fertilizer, and none may abide its strength."

And the Director went unto the Director-General, and sayeth unto him: "It contains that which aids plant growth, and it is very strong."

And the Director-General went unto the Assistant Deputy Minister, and sayeth unto him: "It promoteth growth, and it is very powerful."

And the Assistant Deputy Minister went unto the Deputy Minister, and sayeth unto him: "This powerful new plan will actively promote the growth and efficiency of the department, and this area in particular!"

And the Deputy Minister looked upon the plan, And saw that the plan was good.

And the plan became policy..
