Weird News
MADRID, Spain (Reuters) -- A German prisoner in Madrid and his girlfriend glued their hands together during a jail visit in an attempt to fight the man's possible extradition to Germany, judicial sources said on Thursday.
I complain a lot about my relationships, but I am happy to report I have never had this sort of problem--with either extradition or adhesives.
Yay! This morning has shown promise:
- The computer has arrived!
- The Embassy wrote me back, confirming that my permit application was mailed AND faxed, but said they would call the Migration Board to sort it out.
- Janie's dad has arrived, and has whisked her out of the house for the foreseeable future.
On a more puzzling note, last week I ordered a travel kit for my Palm Pilot--allowing me to recharge on 220V current. Well, I got confirmaton that it had been mailed, but when I checked my USPS tracking number, it said it had been delivered yesterday. Umm, I was here the whole day and nothing remotely resembling a Palm travel kit arrived. Weird, right? I've asked for additional information from USPS--hopefully they will be able to clear it up.
