Isn’t it strange that the direct translation of the number 80 in French is 4-20? Is there a hidden meaning there? Does FRANCE want to be the home of pot smoking in Europe?
France is full of warning signs about Mort. Really, how dangerous is some 70 year old Jewish guy?
France’s economic structure is partially built on inefficiency. Having 7 waiters to serve 10 tables wouldn’t fly in the US, but here it keeps people employed.
All the chocolate shops in Bruges sell beautifully crafted “special occasion” chocolates. Where the hell is the “shove as much in your mouth as you can” chocolate shop?
If I were ever in a wheelchair, I’d want one made out of a BMW motorcycle.
Lots of American tourists in Bruges. I guess Colin Farell movies still sell tourist attractions, if not theater tickets.
It’s odd to me that babies cry the same way wherever you go. I always expect them to wail with some sort of accent in other countries.
Just saw a heavy, old Belgian housewife in curlers running down the driveway yelling and shaking a dish towel at her husband, who was driving away. I love when movie cliches come to life!
Had a thought while singing the Gilligan’s Island theme song in my head (don’t ask) – the line that says “no boats, no lights, no motorcars – as primitive as can be?” WTF is a motorcar? The show aired in the late 60s, but evidently the theme song was written in 1912.

Saw a porcelain cat while I was riding today. Fake animals are usually pretty disturbing in the first place and this was a statue of a hairless cat which enhanced the creep factor tenfold. It gave me that vague feeling of unease I get when I see the silly putty version of Tom Hanks in Polar Express.
A Rotterdam dance club advertises an after hours club every Saturday & Sunday morning from 5am – noon. Note to self. Stay away from the coffee here. And pretty much anything else consumable.
I’m starting to get the hang of the Dutch language. It’s kinda like English but you string an entire phrase together into one word. Like “wuldjulikunbier?”
Just saw a wandering rose salesman going bar to bar in Rotterdam’s red light zone. I think I love the new phrase I just came up with – “that’s like taking roses to a whorehouse.” I’m totally going to start using that.
Oh my god!!! I love this! Great way to start a day! Man, to be inside that head of yours.
Thanks Corey – my brain definitely wanders, especially when I’m on the bike for 4 or 5 hours!
My mind does the same thing when I ride my mountain bike. I actually just wrote a post about how that went horribly bad.

Ouch. Painful story, Nick! Fortunately, long stretches of open road allow for a bit more mind-wandering than mountain trails!
“Having 7 waiters to serve 10 tables” – That could quickly get annoying …

It’s interesting to watch. There’s a lot of standing around & chatting in many restaurants. But you could also argue that the service is much better and there’s something to be said for keeping people employed (as long as you stay profitable & in business).
I love that this is now a series of posts. Although I’m kind of scared as to how these thoughts will evolve. Will you censor them or are we privy to all of them?

Well, I edit a lot out so it’s not 4 pages long, but I wouldn’t say I’ll be “censoring” any.
And you’re right to be scared. I regularly scare myself.
I’m with Ayngelina, be fun to see how these go over time when you inevitably start to lose your mind.

Start?? I have some folks you should talk to – they’ll adjust that time frame you’re thinking about.
