Every Tuesday, step by step, I’m walking with my readers from A to Z, last week we had the “MMM”-challenge, so this week we’ll take “N” – I’m sure you’ll also find a photo, a story or a music title tagged with “N”! Feel free to add in the comments below the link to your personal interpretation of the letter “N”!!! Myself I’ll focus on the subject New York:
NEW YORK

Hi there Frizz. New York is one of my favorite cities – as well as my 11 year old daughter who fell in love with the pulse and the vibe of the place.
My contribution this week is N is for New Orleans. Here it is:

“The nemorous, narrow gorge of Alum Chine, which was nearly the nemesis of young Churchill when he tumbled from one of the bridges that nudge the treetops. Having nursed broken legs and neprhritis, he lived on until ninety – a nonagenerian!”
P.S.:
I’ve collected many of the aphorisms created by Churchill – good, that he survived his childhood accident, falling from a bridge!

I publish daily articles in my WordPress blog “Flickrcomments”, also work on twitter, etc. – and was tired of the long waiting times while working with my other Windows notebooks. With the Chromebook now it all works again in a matter of seconds. Yes, I was looking for a device that fits my speed of thinking, rather than hindered. Found, very satisfied!

dear Marina in Athens, the roots of European philosophy there (Socrates): I’ve read in some amazon reviews, that this chromebook is good for grandparents – they cannot destroy anything, it works relatively fast – no harddrive like a tablet – so they think: WOW! every human being believes to think very fast and correct. all people believe, they are not stupid. that’s wonderful: our brain is constructed in a way, that no one can discover, what he is missing…
