Monday Morning
New High Representative for BiH

The fact the man speaks the language well is a definite plus! I think a poor command of the language by people of responsibility in BiH doesn't help at all. Czech is fairly close. It's funny to read things in Czech and realize just how close.

He sounds like a nasty customer.
Over at Balkan Baby there was a report on the concert. I did not realize this was on HRT. That probably was not a good idea. I don't have it in for all of Thompson's work, there are some of his songs I like very much, some of his songs are more 'folky' but the Ustaša behavior at the concerts bothers me a lot. It's a past that should not bring Croatians pride.
and something that is rare even in the U.S.:
The First Theatre for the Blind in the Balkans

It's been pretty warm here, locally the trolley line celebrated it's 100th anniversary.
I went down to the Farmer's Market on foot, where I bought some local honey and some local garlic. Then I ran into a friend who gave me a lift to the trolley barn. I got some really nice pictures and short film clips of the Trolley Parade.
