Yogi Berra

die Strafe folgt nach, wenn auch noch so spät!
Ludwig Tieck, Der Blonde Eckbert




The Weintrautstraße is a seldom traveled backroad tenuously linked to the Information Superhighway. Since it is under permanent construction, I'd be grateful if you would tell me about any cyber-potholes that you stumble across as you check out the links below. If you know of any links that should be included in my collections, please send me an email.

The photo below shows the commemorative poem that was nailed to the tree:
