really? Wow! Last time I stayed in the USA was from Jun 26, 2007 till 
July 1st, 2007...

Here we are told that a lot of American citizens will just earn minimum 
wage of $ 5-6, including the whole staff at fast food stores, 
restaurants and so on, and the ilegal aliens will get less.

for a short time I worked in a pub and there I was told that coffee is 
that product with which a restaurant, pub or so can make the most 
profit. And now here at the school I attend together with 16 other 
jobless former managers in the age of 45 and older we just closed our 
coffee cash box because it's flooded with to much money which came from 
our coffee drinkers who pay 030 EUR (ar. $ 0,40) per cup (nevertheless 
our teachers do get their coffee for free from us)...

Well, tomorrow we will have Susie and Gert-Jan Rotscheid as special 
guests of "Susies Summer ball" here in Stuttgart, Germany, cueing rounds 
phase II-VI.

Unfortunately this year no German caller attended the 56th Nationals. 
Ok, Don Caspar (American caller&cuer who lives in Germany) was there, 
but he was there as a cuer.
