Hi fromĀ Valais!
OrĀ Wallis, if you ask a German-speaking resident.
Spring has arrived atĀ RhĆ“ne River Valley. Through my window, I see cherry blossoms. A meadow is sprinkled with yellow flowers. I can hear the twitter of birds other than crows.
(As I write this, I heard a chicken too, just for a while, to remind me, I guess, this is notĀ New York.)
Maybe I’m just projecting that spring has arrived, as meteorologists forecast colder days too. Maybe I just want those exceptionalĀ +20 degrees Celsius to remain.
These days, with the climate state as it is, you never know if seasons are early or late.
While the environmentalists would argue this is pretty much under human control, the world is sadly preoccupied with arming up.
When it comes to the aviation industry, we can definitely control some things, and arm up too.
Metal birds (planes, right?)Ā cannot just excuse themselves from being late like feathered birds possiblyĀ could.
Did you know you can file anĀ air compensation claimĀ if your flight has been delayed or canceled? Well, at least in theĀ European Union, thisĀ passenger weapon isĀ protected, even if airlines might prefer you stay uninformed about it.
Services such asĀ AirHelpĀ can ensure that you don’t get just aĀ refund, but also up to 600 euros of compensation money, to sootheĀ your troubles for not arrivingĀ at the destination on time!
Speaking of showing up on time, if you somehow missed the last newsletter on the newest Pipeaway video seriesĀ Been There, Done That, in the meantimeĀ I wrote a more detailed articleĀ on theĀ Children on a BicycleĀ muralĀ inĀ Penang,Ā Malaysia.
Observing the not-always-predictable human behavior is very interesting to me, but I understand not everyone has time or wishes to look for entertainment in a 109-minute video. If you just have a minute, then watchĀ this mom directing her kids for a selfie! The little girl surely doesn’t like it, but she’s too young to vote.
Power is not always in our hands, indeed. Next Sunday, remember,Ā we will be moving theĀ clocks forward 1 hour. You’ll lose an hour of sleep, but you’ll be able to enjoy more light in the evening.
The clock changes are annoying to most of us, but at least we can comfort ourselves by enjoying theĀ late hours sooner.
Have a late-sleeping week!
