Dear Harald,

I have just received an update for my virus program, but have not yet installed it. They are getting more and more philosophical with their viruses. “I love you, work”. I am very curious if anything can ever be done about it, or if the beautiful internet will one day give up the ghost because of it!

You have a good sense of humor. There you sit in the nicest communication chaos and buy yourself a new used Mercedes! What does Anne drive around in, or does she have to wait until it suits her old man, like my better half? Hedwig never made her license, she had a problem with it. My own wheels are a small Mitsubishi Lancer, 95 Model, and a Mitsubishi 4WD small van 88 model. The latter I kept (i.e. didn’t sell) because I didn’t feel it was worth what you could get for it. Money has become very scarce here in Australia since the capitalists have taken over the government. This van is being used by the entire family, whoever happens to go on leave with their kids, or needs transport for some reason.

…..removed some comments on Harald’s email…….

By the way, Peter has also never been baptised and lives quite happily in that status. As a boy he once belonged to a religious community, and it may be that there he once jumped into a dam, but I am not sure about that. I know that a few of the others have, whenever they joined a new denomination or religious persuasion. I think Inge even jumped into the ocean once, for that purpose, ecstatically, Hallelujah! That was a few religions before Mormonism. Don’t you dare tell her! Even though she is very tolerant, she is also very sensitive, and the nicest person there is!

Your next letter I will answer in a few hours, I am once again ready for bed. It is 7.32 am.

Greetings!

Peter.

Translators note: Just to set the record straight…I pride myself on having been baptised a total 4 times in my life! Twice by the Catholics ( I may well be the only catholic that was baptised twice J - teachers at school certainly never believed me because it is supposed to be illegal or undoctrinal), once by the Pentecostals and finally by the Mormons. But that is another story…best left for my own blog J
