I have to add something about Charlemagne. In a previous post, I exonerated Charlemagne of breaking his promise to move into my flat while I was gone, a decision which put me in danger of returning home homeless. I excused him because I learned that the landlord and landlady had planned to put a Canadian guy in the second room without him being aware of it.
But on the weekend, I learned from one of Charlemagne´s colleagues that the Canadian story was a ruse- his real reason for ripping me off was that he didn´t like the Soviet furniture. I therefore re-impute to him the sleaze I had de-imputed, and de-impute the sleaze I had re-imputed to my landlord and landlady who, it seems, are people of unimpeachable honesty.

Tim, the bike ride story was really interesting. Is it possible you are making an impression on people who normally hold steadfast their views? I refer in particular to the old woman who was quick to extricate herself from pure racism when she took back her remark about people beyond her realm of consciousness. I love reading your blog. Look forward to the detail every time, which is very unusual for my predilection for Hemingway-type prose. Which is to say, minimalist. Really love reading it, and you make me want to come visit. I may just live up to my threat.
