Life, if well lived, is long enough. ~Lucius Annaeus Seneca
THIS IS THE OUTSIDE OF MY HEAD
About Me
- Laurie Koning
- Cottbus, Brandenburg, Germany
- It has been determined that I am quiet but not shy. I love the birds and the bees and the flowers and the trees. I'm not so keen on the moon up above but I am in love. I like sentences versus poetry because I find it beautiful to construct complete sentences out of abstract thoughts. Laurie's my name, geology's my game, but you'll also find that I like philosophy, the german language, television, movies, plants, animals, chocolate........

These are known as "Hatchbacks" or sometimes "Saloons".
ReplyDeleteEverytime I see a "Hatchback" I think of the t.v. show Frasier episode in which Niles has to rent a car for a few days and he is given a hatchback. Niles and Frasier utterly hate the car because they find the hatch so unsophisticated! And since I see a hatchback like every two seconds when I am outdoors in Erlangen, I think way too much about that episode!
