![Two German children, ages six and seven, who say they are “very much in love,” decided to get married in Africa “where it is warm” and went to the train station, where police apprehended them.
The children, Mika and Anna-Lena, hatched their plan to elope while their families celebrated New Year’s Eve together. The next morning the couple, along with their witness, Anna-Lena’s five-year-old sister, walked to the tram station 1 km away and took a tram to Hanover central station. There, a guard spotted the group as they were waiting for a train to the airport and called the police.
The officers pointed out that the children wouldn’t get far without tickets and money and offered them a tour of the police station while they waited for their parents to pick them up. “They can still put their plan into action at a later date,” said a police spokesman.

Stylish yet functional…reminds me of the body suit that TV health and fitness character (what’s his name? Mr. something…) used to wear.
Sure it’s easy to complain about how overpriced my ski resort food was today. But my bigger gripe is with the amount of landfill waste my order created.
Why not use biodegradable materials for the utensils, containers, napkins, and cups? Is it that much more expensive for the restaurant to use? I would pay more for that, and not gripe a bit.
Had a late start today, but ended up hitting Killington for some snowboard practice this afternoon. Fresh snow began falling as I finished up. Hopefully this will mean good conditions when I head out to the mountain early tomorrow.
