The Famous Rhein

 I like the Basel traffic system.  My guess is the fastest way to get around is by tram, then by bike, then car, then walking.  Given that by car is between biking and walking you'll see that walking isn't so bad compared to driving!  This bridge is a good example.  There's one lane for each mode of transport.  The trams always have the right of way, then comes pedestrians.  I'm guessing cars yield to bikes, but they both deal with lights (there are separate bike lights - I'll have to get a pictures of that).  So here we have the trams on the left, then cars, then a nice bike lane, then the sidewalk.

It’s hard to understand the emotions during big life changes even if they are somewhat temporary.  Yesterday I was in a kind of uncomfortable funk, even though I could not say it was a bad day.  Yes, many little things went wrong, but then many good things went right dealing with those things.  Today pretty much went right at least up to this 4pm writing.
