This is a big deal. Lausanne is getting its second Metro line. The first one runs from the center of town, then northwest toward the University of Lausanne campus. It then hooks around and has its terminus in the suburb of Renens.
The new M2 runs without drivers. There is no living person who understands how [...]

Wife ran the Lausanne semi-marathon today. She took the train 21 kilometers away.  (13 miles, Randy.) She took off her extra clothes, put them in a numbered bag, gave them to a man, who then loaded it onto a truck. She was then told, "If you want to get back to Lausanne and retrieve your [...]

I am saddened by Rick P’s illness. I am a bit angry too. At 61 years old, his pancreatic cancer has spread to other organs. It’s all happened lightening fast. The Canadian doctors say there is no hope.

Great advice was given, lots of strategies [...]

About 10 days ago we got to visit the Bodmer Museum (Bibliotheca Bodmerians) in Cologny, just next to Geneva. A friend who lives there paid our way because he knew I’d been wanting to go for a long time.

I saw probably 15 of the small sheets on [...]
