Four German News Stories

 1.  So the rest of the story came out over the Baumholder US post gate-incident.....where the two gate guards (civilians) shot an approaching Army guy over the weekend.

Apparently, the guy's wife had come to the gate and asked for protection.  The Army NCO approached and was told to 'back off'....refused, and the guards responded.

There was a warning shot, and I would imagine some video of the episode exists.  Guy's aggressive behavior?  Not yet explained.

Oddly, the NCO made a play toward the guard's gun drawn, and this was the moment when the guard decided 'enough'...shooting the guy in the leg.

I'm guessing that the Army will ask for a mental eval of the guy.  

2.  Both Hessen and Baden-Wurttemberg are discussing offering drug purity tests....free.  So you could take your crack or meth to some gov't run shop and have it tested.  Odds of people actually doing this?  That would be my question.  For dealers....if this started to occur?  Well....it'd put dealers under pressure.  

3.  Hessen, the state, has updated their population count....now at 6.39-million.  Key area gaining?  Southern side of Frankfurt....Offenbach.

4.  High temperature for my village today?  69 F  (21 C).  Yeah, it's been the most summer of the entire past decade.....but with marginal rainfall.
