[Culturechat] Switzerland and the EU

[tillhouse]

A p.s. to Vance's message.

Everything green and we just left a brown California.  Gushing falls and
streams and we are in a drought.  Not watching our every step to avoid the
dog leavings.  Smiling and saying "hi" on a trail and having the fellow
hiker fall in with your pace for an exchange.  Smelling air filled with the
sweetness of new mown hay coming through the lace curtained bedroom window.
And finally in Zurich airport on Sept.15 having a hand placed  on our
shoulder while in line to finally board for home  and a voice say I'm so
sorry!
