Could be AI, there's only 24 cans on the tree and the box at the bottom is a 30 box. :)

I mean the moderation of posts by AI.
As far as a tree that grows cans of beer as it's fruit, that sounds very Aus! 😁

And obviously whoever planted it, musta drunk the missing 6 cans!

I never do anything so rash. See a concert overseas, buy tickets, reserve hotel, haven't quite got the flight taken care of. Did that all in a few minutes. Scary. I felt like I was jumping off one of those ski jumps.

I don't speak Swiss German, or even German. I never go somewhere I don't know the language.

So, assuming I do something in Switzerland besides the concert, do you have any recommendations? I do want to try to be in the French speaking part of the country. The last time I was in Switzerland was 50 years ago?!

I travel in countries where I can't speak the local language. Look for school age children if you need an interpreter. They usually study English in school and like to practice English with visitors. This has helped me numerous times in Greece and even in Turkey. I also have a language app on my cell phone that translates English to the foreign language and vice versa. That comes in handy, too.
 
Dove had released a limited time line of body products that make you smell like pumpkin pie. It includes deodorant. I wish I were making it up….

There is now an ear piece one can wear that will listen to what others are saying in any of 70 foreign languages and translate it auditorially into your ear.
The problem with all of these is I am shy of using them. But I suppose I should learn. It turns out from my research that most of Switzerland speaks Swiss German and only a small part near France that speaks French.
The good news is that it looks like I can go canoeing there.
 
Floods in Spain. There are photos of the high water rising, but I thought this photo demonstrated most vividly the power of moving water. (An interest of mine.)
