The lightest touch steering of all cars I’ve ever driven – I kid you not!
Inside, it’s quite boxy and cramped – you wouldn’t expect.
But with the Big FAT Diesel engine this thing just MOVES!
The Beauty and the Beast.
Mad Scientist #2
Ro started playing with numbers and loves to learn about math beyond elementary school. So he asked me what other nubers there are and I told him about negative numbers, irrational numbers (he struggles with fractions) and special numbers like Euler or pi.
When I asked him to count for me to twenty he went:
one, two, Euler, three, Pi, four, five, ….
Mad Scientist #1 previously Baby Logic
Since Ro is now 7 it’s about time to rename this column to something more appropriate than “BabyLogic”. He’s surprised me with his joy for math and logic and I enjoy his explorations of his curious mind.
We do chain math a lot, something like:
1+7 +3+4-3+6+8+9+2=?
We take turns in constructing the riddle and he takes great joy to torture me.
One good day he wanted to make it particularly hard for me so he did:
1+17+17-17-17+13-13+71-71=?
And since he knew that he would subtract the same number in the next move he didn’t have to actually do the difficult math himself. He was very proud when he came up with this system!
I was stunned.

sucht mich in euren Herzen.
Habe ich dort eine Bleibe gefunden,
werde ich immer bei euch sein.”
