Bound for Ireland

Ireland in four days!  I can't wait!!!  It's so warm and humid in Garmisch, I feel like I'm swimming in my clothes half the time.  It's been raining every afternoon all week long, and you would think that would relieve the heavy air some, but not so.  Walking home from work tonight, I saw steam rising off the river.
The kinderpath is getting overgrown by a profusion of poky weeds and grass.  Everything is growing so much here, I feel almost like I'm back in Tennessee.
I expected the climate here to be somewhat similar to the Rockies, but it's not even remotely, except for the afternoon thunderstorms.  Of course, the top of the Zugspitze is the altitude I used to live at in Colorado, so that makes some difference.  But I didn't think this far inland, it would be so damp all of the time.
I guess Ireland will probably be damp too, since it rains all of the time, but at least it will be cooler.  And I can't wait to see the GREEN.

Rapidly approaching the point where I only have 90 days left in my current contract.  Job hunting, here I come.  Turned in 3 applications today with HR here.  Time to start hunting jobs in Chattanooga too.  Gotta cover all of my bases.
