Yet American economists love to yell about the German consumer not consuming enough!

I'm just glad it is too expensive for a bunch of kids to buy them up and leave them on every bus and train in the country!!

I always love a story that makes Americans look a little less crazy.

Don't bet on it....

If I ever have to move back to the big city, I'll be in the market for that sort of thing. I sometimes like the smell of cattle. It sometimes reminds me of my childhood, growing up in cattle country...... The smell of Home.♥♥♥

Of course, the American version would be a lot stronger: Eau de FEEDLOT... ;-)

Although I didn't grow up in the country, I've never heard anyone who grew up in the country say that cow flatulence is what they miss the most. Must be a German thing.
