Glad you are well. Keep us posted and . . . Stay Surrounded, Comrade!
 
Pleasure trip? Post some pics!
OK, some pics. But only because you asked!

1. You ain’t nothin’ but a (metal) hound dog (the canine version of the pissing boy and girl in Brussels).
2. Bioreactors - the tallest towers - at Ghent steel mill (engineered by my wife’s company, bacteria ferments off-gases - CO, H2, CO2 - to ethanol).
3. My wife, carrying an Olympic torch, for … somebody (maybe a Star Wars character).
4. Arc de Triomphe with low-carbon steel symbols for the Paralympics
5. Freddie Mercury (actually Turkey’s Rayan Dutra) after warming up for acrobatic trampoline.

You know @zdjh22 , I spent most of my career with companies that either designed, built or owned ugly looking chemical / power plants; but I must say that this bioreactor plant has a nice artistic form to it. Alan Parsons could probably make a nice album about it. Nice pic.

The cover of I Robot was taken in the airport in Paris, a few years ago I was on the elevators in the tubes when I had a feeling of Deja Vu, then realised where I knew the clear tubes from!

Way back in 1995 I was on a work trip, and was in New Orleans, I asked for a cup of tea and was baffled when I got a glass of iced tea!
Was it pre-sweetened with about six teaspoons of sugar?
They call that "sweet tea," some places it's difficult to get a glass of plain un-sugared "iced" tea.
Over here in the colonies, "iced" tea is not in common usage, even though proper English.
Much too hoity-toity.
One says "ice tea," old sport. 🧐

Usually, they err on the side of asking which part of Great Britain are you from. Then you can lie and tell her that you are from Canada. :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:
