Grand Cafe ODEON in Zurich.
So many famous people met and drank coffee here. This photos include a page from the menu.
I visited because Albert Einstein was a frequent guest. I will ignore the “Lenin and Mussolini” linkage!

I saw this posted on LinkedIn. It’s interesting to see where Canadian Government revenues are allocated.

This seems a bit of a coincidence. On the week where we have the Galileo exhibition, this is my Latte from the Black Hole Bistro! Looks remarkably like one of the eclipses drawn by Galileo!

Time to turn off the taps.
Not a single bottle of American wine, beer or bourbon should be sold anywhere in Canada.
From here on in I will only drink "freedom" wines from Canada, France or Spain.
As for the beer? It's shit anyways.
