Many security measures are simply stupid, like the one forbidding carrying liquids aboard, which was laughed by all explosives experts. But to forbid a captain to reenter the cabin because there is a madman or a potential terrorist in it is not stupid. It is criminal. I heard that the only reason for these security measures are to bring the passengers into a false sense of security. To me it sounds both ridiculous and dangerous. |

I can barely imagine what the captain must have felt when he realized that his copilot was bringing him and the whole crowd of people behind his back to death. That thought was worse than death. Tullio |

Fabian Cancellara e' caduto in una gara e si e'fratturato il solito collar bone. Niente Fiandra e Parigi-Roubaix anche per lui dopo Tom Boonen. |

It's summertime again. Daylight saving time is local time that is adjusted forward one hour during part of the year in order to better exploit the daylight hours during the summer by people follow the clock at the ascension. In countries closer to the poles, as in the Nordic countries, summertime makes not a difference, since the daylight in the summer extends beyond the end of the day most people are awake. Many questions therefore the use of daylight in these latitudes. Grrrr. |

Italian biologists decry the use of daylight saving time because it distracts biological circadian rhythms and I agree with them. Tullio |

I Think politicians and beurocrats should listen to scientists instead of doing this "experiment" called Social Jetlag... The next two weeks, about thirty Swedes die of heart attacks as a direct result of the stress caused by the change to daylight saving time. |

When in Rome for a Honeywell-Bull exhibition in 1989 we always ate not in the hotel but every night in a different trattoria and we always ate and drank very well. going back to the hotel at 3 AM. Then we rose at 6 to fire up our computers. The New York Times often devotes articles to Rome food and drink. This guy was never in Rome, I think. Tullio |

Then we rose at 6 to fire up our computers. The New York Times often devotes articles to Rome food and drink. It was a long time since I was in Rome. It was in december 1986. Rather cold at nights though but they had hot roasted chessnuts for sale. I don't remember if it was expensive beeing there. Same prizes as in Stockholm. We ate at a restaurant in Piazza della Rotonda, in front of the Pantheon. And we stayed at a hotel walking distance near Piazza Navona. 40 Euros per night with breakfast. Lira of course at that time:) But now it's only Russians, Chinese and Americans who can afford to eat good Italian food in Rome. We others have to go to McDonalds:) |

Rome is still cheaper then Milan.but Italy has thousands of small towns and villages where you pay much less. Try Friuli and its wines. Tullio |

The prizes for a pint beer now costs so much that only a few visits the Pubs. If you eat a simple meal and having a pint of beer in a not so fancy pub is 20 Pounds... Almost been to Friuli, Tullio:) I was 2 days in Venezia in 1976! It's time to go to Italia again. Maybe Sicily and see Etna in action... Or Napoli:) |

Try to see Naples before the next Vesuvio eruption. Instead Etna is a good volcano. |
