I drink coffee every day with a Moka "caffettiera" which makes a good Espresso. My favored coffee is Illy from Trieste, my home town, which offers a range of coffee grains from Africa (Ethiopia), Brazil, Haiti and Colombia. We don't need Starbucks, it's just a mode. Tullio |

Oktober Fest has started in Munich. One liter glass of beer costs eleven euros, so there are more Swiss visitors than Italian visitors. I've learned that if a waitress has knotted the left site of her apron, she needs a companion, if she has knotted the right side she has a companion. Beware! Tullio |

Cycling World Championships Team time trial, Innsbruck I thought the teams should be national but apparently not any longer. The winners. Women Canyon-SRAM, Germany? Men Quick-Step Floors, Belgium? |

This was the Team trial. National team trials will follow. I saw only the men trial, Quick Step won. |

No. Only individual time trials, ITT, will follow before the road races. Anyway, UCI has now decided to not have TTT's from next year. |

Only 34? Kristin Armstrong won an olympic gold medel when she was 38:) But I think that there are not so many athletic games as cycling where you can be even be more than 40 to compete with the best. Some can even be 66 years of age and still competing. Stålfarfar https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gustaf_H%C3%A5kansson |

I am still cycling at 83. Mathematician Michael Atiyah, 89, claims to have demonstrated the Riemann conjecture. They say that the father of Enrico Bombieri, a mathematician too now at Princeton, had promised his son a Ferrari (he was a banker) if he demonstrated it but no avail. Enrico is still driving a Ford or a Fiat. |

After a Pisa male physicist, Alessandro Strumia, had said in a CERN meeting that women physicists are inferior to men and was banned from CERN, the Nobel Academy reacts by assigning the Nobel Prize to two men, one American Arthur Ashkin and one French, Gerard Mourou, and a woman, the Canadian Donna Strickland. all for research work on lasers.
