Dear Fiete, dear all,

Thanks for the welcome message.
(I´m a coward,
I do not dare to answer in our LS
for fear of what might come out
could be horrible a missingsch of LS,
Dutch and German.)
Where in LS are you located?
As kind heff ik Meckelnborgs snakt,
man miin öllers waant nu in de
"Nordheide".

Greetings, Mike Wintzer

Dear Lowlander friends,
No I´m not a joke forwarder, don´t get afraid.
The following was forwarded to me as a joke, but it made me very sad.
If you read through you´ll understand why.

> When NASA was preparing for the Apollo Project, they did some astronaut
> training on a Navajo Indian Reservation in Arizona.
>
> One day, a Navajo Elder and his son were herding sheep and came across
> the space crew.  The old man, who spoke only Navajo, asked a question
> which his son translated.  "What are these guys in the big suits doing?"
>
> A member of the crew said they were practicing for their trip to the
> Moon. The old man got all excited and asked if he could send a message
> to the Moon with the astronauts.
>
> Recognizing a promotional opportunity for the spin-doctors, the NASA
> folks found a tape recorder After the old man recorded his message, they
> asked the son to translate it.  He refused.
>
> So, the NASA reps brought the tape to the reservation where the rest of
> the tribe listened and laughed but refused to translate the Elder's
> message to any people on the Moon.
>
> Finally, the NASA crew called in an official government translator. He
> reported that the Moon message said, " Watch out for these guys, they
> have come to steal your land."
