Good morning, tom tom. That's probably a peace sign. Do you know it originally was called the "N.D." sign? For nuclear disarmament. It came from England's Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament in the early Sixties. Then, got generalized into the "peace" symbol. At least that's how I recall the lore.

Hi Tom Tom & Brian & all. The three bombs were successfully deactivated. Probably British bombs because the Brits esp. were pounding Cologne under the leadership of so-called Bomber Harris (Sir Arthur Travers Harris, 1st Baronet) who especially had it in for the Nazis due to bombing of London, &c. He wanted to bomb the famous Cologne Cathedral to smithereens, but U.S. Catholic bishops intervened to save it. Post-war photos of Cologne show the utter devastation of the city. The Cathedral lost its roof, but its intricate main structure was still standing. Many of Cologne's churches were destroyed, but rebuilt.

may have mentioned before… bought a book of photographs by an amateur photog of b erlin circa 1928-1950 before leaving on a trip there.. there were images of broken statuary of notable germans that were knocked off their plinths from all over the city from 1946… in berlin i wandered around near potsdamerplatz and went down an alley way of a small municipal looking building and in the yard were all the statues in the photographs from 1946….this was 2002

Correction: This week I was very much born, but far enough away from the Rhine not to be affected by the defusing op. The bombs were discovered on the eastern side of the Rhine. I live on the western side, 20 minutes walking distance from the Kölner Philharmonie near the banks of the Rhine.

English used to use "happy" more to refer to circumstance than personal mood. It is related to "happen" and "happenstance" so really did more mean "fortunate" than "glad" for a long time. It's just drifted more into mood.
