be an italian nut

Last week, T.so and I flew to Milan to see some customers of him. We did take air dolomiti

and really had a nice flight over the alps. The view is marvolous, isn't it?

In Milan I did touch italian ground for the first time in my life. Well I can understand that people do love this country. So full of history, fashion and good food. Upps hopefully they don't eat to much walnuts, that would hurt me.







We did takte a tour through the dome of Milan. Very nice but totally different style than the cathedrals in Tuscany. Well did some family tradition and were deeply impressed from the colorfull shadows on the column.









After we had visited the dome we walked into the gallery Vittorio Emanuelle II. On the backside we saw some very nice and old automobile. Seems a perfect fit to the scenery.



Oh we also meet an old apple, we walnuts do know, that old apples are full of wisdom, so we asked if he may know where the red ribbon has gone, but he didn't know at all.




At the end we have a esspresso like we promiced to GGGee. Is it nuts? We don't know.
kisses to the world

Hunting in Nuremberg

Commissioner Herb has returned to Germany an he is looking for the red ribbon in Nuremberg. A city in which GGGee has once be very happy.



Well luckily for Herb the famous christkindlesmarkt hasn't started yet. Could you imagine how a walnut must feel it self if he sees all the roasted nuts and even be in personal danger of being swallowed up by a drunken visitor. So a perfect time for a quick investigation.



Herb even asked Bastet the cat goddess from old Egypt but didn't found any trace.



He looked under every bridge he crossed. The red ribbon couldn't be found anywhere near.



But Herb finally comes to the conclusion that Nuremberg was worth the try, he got inspired for the future. So another trip to Nuremberg would do him and others - T.so and GGGee for example - very good.

That ain't nuts brother

The ayatollahs were unfriendly

Well back in Munich, commissioner Herb did a desperate thing, because desperate situations sometimes asks for desperate solutions. He went to the consul of Iran and tried to ask him, if he had seen the red ribbon, maybe have stolen it and is wearing it now under the burqa while staying at home. But all Herb did was triggering the security alert and some unfriendly nasty looking devilish guys came out. They didn't answer his questions.

Shalom brothers, we are just looking for a red ribbon. so these guys were lunatics but didn't know love or anything else. So Herb left the place. That was anything but nuts.

York'scher Pudding

Commissioner Herb remembered that there was a smell of York'scher pudding at the crime scene. Maybe this will tell him something. So he did checked in to Manchester and hitchhiked to York, the old roman town in North England. He traveled to the minister, a place of long history of searching and founding, a place with a lot of myths to be unfold.



Lighting two candles, cause old family habits will never die. He said a little prayer and is falling into investigation trance. Will the smoke of the candle tell him something or is the solution to it all deep in his heart. Is the heart of a nut(s) the solution to this case?? Herb is thinking deep and deeper.

He took some deep looks but didn't find the slightest clue.




In the ramada hotel he did find the first Christmas tree of 2009. It was white but no red ribbon to be seen. Herb is thinking of next Christmas, where would he be? What will be then? time will tell.



But to be sure to have a joyfully and nutty Christmas herb did sent a letter to Santa Clause with his wishes.



York did not help to solve the problem so commissioner herb entered another plane and keeps the hunt for the red ribbon and the happy end going on. And believe me GGGee that ain't nuts at all.

The french connection

Commissioner Herb from the WIA found a new trail. One that may leads him to the so long missed red ribbon. One possibility could be that a romantic lunatic just kidnapped the red ribbon and took it away. Away from GGGee and so far as he possible could.



So if this is the case, than what would be more logical than try to find some evidence for this cruel deeds at the airport nearby. You do see Commissioner Herb following the smallest hint. Rumor has it, the city for lovers and maybe desperate lovers is Paris.



So here we go. Herb is taking a close look at the Hotel Lutetia in Paris. A hotel with quite an interesting history. Celebrities are staying here, maybe one of these is the love lunatic kidnapper?

Watch as Commissioner Herb is investigating every detail in this house. "Hey yo kidnapper, watch out cause Herb is in da House"



The next place to have a long and closer look is the metro in Paris. How many suspicious lover boys or girls have entered this station and trying to hide a broken heart. "Red ribbon are you there??"


The opera, ah seems a good advice, maybe the phantom of the opera did this cruel deed. If we can find it here, that would solve the case at once. But the Phantom was not in the opera and the red ribbon wasn't either.



Another metro another suspect. Watch the Lady looking at us, maybe she did know something. No she didn't know a thing, she just thinks that is nuts to have a nut being commissioner.

Well Paris was not as hot a trail, as Herb have hoped, but he will go hunt the kidnapper down.

Kisses to GGGee from Herb from Paris and that's not nuts!

the case is still open

The case of the red ribbon is still open. Commissioner Herb from the WIA is still hunting high and low to solve this mystery. Here you see him doing some investigation in the forest near the Isar in Freising.



Commissioner Herb got some information that some red stuff has been seen there.



He also scanned the river, is there anything to be seen. Any sign for murder or suicide, hijacking?? The mystery is getting thicker and more nebulous.



Suddenly he found the red stuff. Parts of a broken and dead balloon. What had happened here? Is something evil creeping through the woods? Herb is fearless and so shall you GGGee. He will protect you and will move on with this mystery.



kisses from the woods
from the not crazy commissioner Herb

red ribbon hijacked

What terrible news, the red ribbon that was tied to the Zolling sign is gone!! Below you can see the proof of evidence. It shows that a crime had happened here.



Commissioner Herb the Nut is inspecting the scene and will investigate in this case of hijacking! The WIA is specialised in love crime investigations. Commissioner Herb: "We will do everything that is possible to free the red ribbon! My first assumption is, that some one from nearby has taken it away, due to misunderstanding. It may be seen a socialist sign not as a sign for love!"



We wish him well and may Herb the fearless nut and hero of the WIA solve this case.

tie a red ribbon

GGGee is moving fast into her new flat in Zolling. To send her my respect and countless tender feelings T.so and I have tied a red ribbon around the Zolling sign. The red ribbon once was tied around the Valentine's gift that T.so got from GGGee. This action was inspired by the old song: tie a yellow ribbon around the old oak tree ....

A yellow ribbon is a symbol with various meanings, mostly associated with those waiting for the return of a loved one or of military troops who are temporarily unable to come home. So I guess that this was a good idea to tie this red ribbon here, it may kiss you, when ever you pass it GGGee. And boy that ain't nuts!!

Kisses Herb the nut not being nuts
