I know I've written here at some point about the German love affair with scarves and, for example, the belief that the single most important response when one gets a cold is the wearing of a scarf at all times.
Well, it's pretty cold out there in Berlin right now. (Tomorrow's low is -16°C (3°F)! I'm so excited!) Walking home tonight around midnight, I passed a man out walking his dog. The dog was not wearing a collar – many German dog owners eschew leashes entirely, since (is anybody surprised?) their pets are terribly obedient – no, no, this dog had, wrapped around its neck, a scarf.
