"Treat the earth well: It was not given to you by your parents, it was loaned to you by your children. We do not inherit the Earth from our Ancestors, we borrow it from our Children."

Hobbies

My hobbies are: My family, Computer, Photography, Astronomy, Music (active and passive), a.m.m. It is possible to combine the hobbies. But a day should have at least 48 hours for so many interests.
What I don't like: Wasting time with e.g. sleeping and eating.

My new hobby since 8/2012: Kawasaki VN 800

Misc.

Quotations:
- Use day AND night, we have plenty of time to sleep when we are lieing in the grave. (PW. My motto!)
- Satisfaction stops progress. (PW)
- Heaven is nearer to me than earth. (PW. And that's not only because of my hobby astronomy!)
- I don't like people who keep a domestic animal and say that they are animal lovers. (PW)

Because it's so trendy I also installed a WebCam:

Live WebCam-image of my brain.
