Nearing end of summer

It has been a while since my last post and for that I apologize.

Summer has proceeded at a wonderful pace. I have spent the majority of it working at Essential Industries in Merton, WI.

The past two weeks I spent in Germany and Holland and it was thus far the highlight of my summer. If you ever make it to Cologne, Germany walking up to the top of the Cologne Dome is the most amazing and awesome thing I have done in a very long time. The view is georgous and well worth the painful hike up.

A ceasefire was finally declared between Lebanon and Israel and I think it is well past time for this. I have found a few blogs that I think are terribly interesting reading regarding the conflict. I will post them tomorrow or the day after for further reading.
