More snow this morning. Alas, I thought, now I have to stay in today. Foolish! Pants-under-pants. I'm impenetrable.

Market! Open! These folks are hearty.After the market I stopped in at the thrift store to look for a little desk. No dice, though there were some tempting books in the Biographies section.
Also available was a book about the Backstreet Boys.

Someone finally rethinking their mannequin from 1997?
This is to show you how close the supermarket (Migros) is to my house. Up on the left the second white building on the next block (the taller) is where I live. I also had a chance to go to the Post Office to send off some things (Customs charges dispute, application for my Half Price pass for the trains, key to storage unit to CA) and got some tips for other things to do around the area, including a little footpath and walking bridge (La Petite Camargue Alsacienne?) where good birdwatching can be done. I like the post office. I'll have to write more letters.
correction: Matthäuskirche. Sorry.
ReplyDeletethat card case with the chalk board is really cool. and I like your scarf! where did you get that little pin on your jacket? it looks like one of the bears from the little plates from milly's.
ReplyDeletescarf from the cancer society off piedmont ave. pin from berlin. so, not unlike the little plates! isn't it funny that one of those little plates had the basel logo (they were all the cantons of switzerland, i discovered at some point) and now i see that logo every day, everywhere? i think every city should have a logo. it's much cooler that way.
ReplyDeleteI agree. though american ones would probably be cheesy, like modern sports team logos (http://www.sports-logos-screensavers.com/user/Anaheim_Angels6.jpg). if someone who had some good, classy design ideas did them, it would be really cool...
ReplyDeleteI think the thing is, you can't let the design get changed by time. And, there can't be any type; I think typeface is probably something that changes the most, style-wise. Ideally it would be an iconic, vaguely abstract symbol that could embody the very spirit of the place. A small thing to ask.
