“Speed” is the current topic at Pabuca – well, here’s rather the absence thereof…

I met this not really fast fellow yesterday:

Here you see the remainders of the speedway track around the football ground – boards and slopes are already gone. In order to make room for the small horticultural show 2017, for which also this football ground and the other training grounds in the back will be moved a little. On one hand, it’s a pity for the drivers, but on the other hand it’s very good because, well, I always considered it strange whenever an official or some politicians were proud of having such a noisy sport almost in the middle of the town – “delighting” the entire town with the noise on many a weekend.

The innermost city center isn’t made for fast drivers:

This week’s Pabuca topic is “no fun”, so let’s start right away to get it over with^^:

Construction sites usually mean not much fun in the first place – noise, dirt, traffic disturbances. (Except when unusual machines are used, or you’re young enough to see every machine as unusual…) In this case:

…not even what is being built is a fun topic, because this will (finally) be a memorial for the victims of National Socialism. A German article about it with a model photo is » here.

This garden door doesn’t just stand around alone for fun, of course the rest of the fence will be added soon:

And finally there is quite some no-fun connected to our small local museum for religious art in the old sacristan house – firstly, the opening hours once per quarter are a bit limited for interested visitors; secondly, everything but the ground floor is not accessible to visitors because of fire safety regulations.

The exhibits will soon move to a side wing of a nearby church, though.
