The name Adenauer sounds kind of badass to me. Also I have a cold. Damnit. And one of the only reasons I'm writing this post now is to kick off the inane mundanity of the last post from top position on this blog.
I find old history books oddly interesting, especially ones from the latter half of last century I guess - recent enough for them not to be like 'omg ancient' but... old enough for you to find them kind of quirky. E.g. I found this book published in, what, the fifties? saying that the USSR started the Cold War. Also, I've a book on my desk from the 70s and when it's talking in present tense about events in the 70s... it's... strangely fascinating/notable? Yeah. And I think to myself things like "hey, when this was written, Germany was still divided into two, the Cold War was still going on..." and it's funny when you're searching for a particular historical event in the index and then you realise that, at the book's time of publication, that hadn't even happened yet.
DINNERRRRRR and I want to have a somewhat-at-least-partway-decent scaffold/plan for Mod before I fall asleep today. Challenge time yay.
