But investors didn’t seem to buy it, as the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA-0.29% tumbled as much as 391 points early Friday, before paring losses to cloe down 71 points. That follows the 420-point drubbing the Dow took after the tariffs were announced.

Ever gotten on the wrong train/subway/bus?

I've done that a few times in Europe. Our esteemed DFW rescued me from my mistake near Dusseldorf, and in Berlin I've caught the wrong subway twice. I am such a newbie to all this but I'm learning rapidly. Florida sucks for public transport (my only excuse), with only a few exceptions in Miami and Orlando. Not sure what Tampa/St. Petersburg have.

I have no idea when or if I'm getting back to Europe....

so, what the hell, I'm not getting any younger or healthier (yet), so I decided to hop over to Oslo, Norway.

When I come home on March 18th, I'll have memories of Deutschland, Danmark, Sverige, Norge, Nederland, and Czechia in my brain. I love to travel, so 29 years of no European travel just exploded this time.
