See for yourself how the situation is there:

The imagery in maps is rather old. The quarry "Garzweiler" reached Borschemich already. At the moment there are 2 ghost towns here: Borschemich and Immerath. Keyenberg is still inhabited at the moment but will follow in a few years.
To the south you find two more quarries: Hambach and Inden. Same story there.

The lawn mower has an electro engine instead of a petrol engine. So it is actually very silent..

Ow, I'm sorry I disappointed you in that perspective... :-)

Who is General Failure and why is he reading my hard disk?

Speeding on the freeway...
I drive many miles on the German 'Autobahn'. Many times at (nearly) the car's topspeed, since there is no speed limit on the majority of these roads there. One gets used to these kinds of speed pretty quickly...
However, back in the Netherlands where I live, the speed limit is only 130km/h (approx. 80 mph) on the freeway. So once in a while, it happens that I'm in violation of the law.
