band -> citizens band radio

Still not all in my area covered by cellular phones. Cable telephon has cables often attached to trees which may fall in storm. So we still have citizen band radio and short wave as backup.

There is only one local spider I really fear. Big beasts in the garden which catch clothes with their nets. Always means that a long and nasty ironing session of the victims is close.

Texas Renaissance Festival -> Braunfels

People from Braunfels founded New Braunfels. Braunfels is a very small neighbour town from Wetzlar where I was born. I am member of the Braunfels Glider Club, My older sister was born just 100m from Braunfels castle,

I think funnel cake was brought from Germany to german speaking parts of USA. Here it has several names like Strauben, Trichterkuchen, Kringelfritz... My Grandma did a not sweet variant with parsley and bear-garlic.

GoodFood is a sort of shops which collect unused/unsold food from restaurants, supermarkets, households. You just put as much money in a box as you think it is worth.
