Would you like a health check with that?

I would be really neat if it could at the same time check you health status, say how clogged are your arteries? I might get one for home use :)

On the flip side: Could you get layed off due to bad blood flow in your arteries?

On: Virtual Tourists in the Swiss Alps

When I lived for a few years in Switzerland, I knew the Alps were beautiful. When you hike along mountain meadows, covered in flowers, under blue skies and the sun making the snow covered mountain tops glitter, it is breathtaking.

But I only realized how much I loved the open space in the Alps when I came to New England in the US. It is nice, but in the last few hundred years, it has grown over with forrest. I like forrests, but I also appreciate some open space.

Appart from the White Mountains, the views are rather limited in New England.

I've stopped complaining about farmers getting payed by the government - not only do they produce food - they help to maintain an open landscapes.

Cows and farmers, keep up the good work :)
