Fortunately he went to a familiar environment. The new owner (Fred de G.) lives near Nordhorn in Germany (I live in Noordhorn) and is also working in IT. Besides that our names match and we both have something 'weird' with our eye (I'm a little cross-eyed <img src="http://xl-network.com/sites/all/modules/smileys/packs/Roving/wink.png" title="Wink" alt="Wink" class="smiley-content"/>). I think he'll feel right at home with his new owner.</p> <p><a href="http://xl-network.com/blog/2012/07/fido-is-gone" target="_blank">read more</a></p> http://xl-network.com/blog/2012/07/fido-is-gone#comments Noordhorn Photo's Recumbents Sun, 08 Jul 2012 08:42:32 +0000 XL-Network 1393 at http://xl-network.com http://xl-network.com/blog/2011/07/please-slow-down <p>After my new camera (the Contour+) had arrived this week it was a matter of trying it out and to wait if something worthwhile comes in front of the lens. Unfortunately that didn't take long. This morning I was on my way to work when I encountered a car that was pushing it in a 30 km/h zone. The junction had a offset center. If he should have stopped for me or another road user he probably couldn't have done so in time. Car drivers often speed at that junction, but this driver was being extra bad. Fortunately I could hear him coming and didn't enter the junction.</p> <p><a href="http://xl-network.com/blog/2011/07/please-slow-down" target="_blank">read more</a></p> http://xl-network.com/blog/2011/07/please-slow-down#comments Filming Helmetcam Movie Noordhorn Recumbents Stupid Cow Fri, 15 Jul 2011 17:30:15 +0000 XL-Network 1168 at http://xl-network.com
