okay so i just wanted to show you like
okay so one time we were stationed this
is pawn barracks right here
flat earth this is in germany and
apparently
president trump hates germany
um
and i don't know why the haitian
international haitian international
mechanical engineering place came up but
it did
um it says eberman's dwarf
everman's dwarf aberman's dwarf it's
called both
maybe there's another one there's a
municipality in the district of amber
soulsbug bach in bavaria
and so we were here for three years this
was one
this is where my youngest son was
actually
well pawn barracks itself doesn't exist
anymore
so that's one of the things i wanted to
mention
was that the house
or my most of the places
my adult life don't exist anymore
when i think about it you know and it's
kind of sad
but on the other hand it's
it reminds me of the monks the monks
when they create
an image and i saw something about the
monks they created an
image of like this beautiful
artwork in sand and so there's all these
monks
creating this artwork and then they when
they were done they swept it up and
it went away and i and it was like oh
there's something
higher in that message and so i was
thinking about related to all the places
that i've lived
since i was a philly my adult life let's
put it that way
in my adult life so so the
farm where my first two kids were born
doesn't exist
and then um
let's see fort ord doesn't exist i
there's some of the apartments and stuff
do but i mean the military bases don't
exist then
um then amber
doesn't exist and i'll show you that
here in a minute but i wanted to
i wanted to zoom back in on this because
oh this place was so pretty
it was really really pretty and we had a
lot of fun here
so we lived let's see here
if i can get it up here we lived right
on i think we were on the third floor in
this one here
i think it was no the second floor the
second floor and then i had a friend who
lived over here
and right down here is where my kids
would get onto the
they had a little orange bus and it was
so
oh my gosh it was so tiny
and they'd get on there and see down
here is a german
kindergarten but our kids got out and
went to the american school
i'm wondering nowadays if they could be
integrated in a way
integrated in american i wonder if the
american kids go
here because that would be sort of cool
if there was a way
and because they could have just gone
whoop down there but
my son yeah they did both go to
they did get on the bus but right here
there's a story about this
um i actually have two stories about
here
one of them my daughter or my son he
comes running he's like mom
that was humping on amanda and
and so they were they said he was i
don't know what that was about
and so i took you know um
it was kids being kids and he he made it
sound really
dramatic and um
i mean the boys were they weren't really
bad or anything but they all like to rip
heads off of the dolls even my son did
too they
that was their mission the boy's mission
was to rip heads off of barbie dolls and
rip heads off of wrestlers and
that's that's just what they did my son
was bit by a mouse while we lived here
so he come and he told me he was bit by
a mouse so
i called up the um the doctor's office
and they said it's nothing to worry
about then they called back and they
said
oh we better give him a tetanus shot so
we drove to nuremberg we had to drive to
nuremberg and he took off work
and he had a tetanus shot oh my gosh she
was screaming
i don't know what i don't know what time
of year it was but
um i i felt so bad and then later
we moved on post and the same thing
happened again he was bit by a dog
but there was a road here and we were
told
that the two boys that lived
above us that they walked down the road
and then they threw a brick
off the road here because there's like
no
there's no um
to this day it still looks like there's
no cover
over it but this is a big interstate
that's going through here so we don't
live far from an interstate
but i it was never really busy that i
was aware of
it was quiet because they had a whole
bunch of trees here
i didn't even realize the whole time i
lived here i didn't even realize
there is a major interstate running
through there it's not like where i live
now
that's noisy and you can see there's
just a few cars there
let me zoom out a little bit too oh i
should finish the story first about
the boys but or maybe i was done but
they said they walked out here they had
a brick and they threw it over the road
and it almost hit one of the cars
over here um and
they said that the pole as i come and
talk to him and then
nothing happened that's what that's what
i was told
and so um
but but yeah this oh my gosh it's so
pretty look at all the trees
you know that's the oh are they
developing
it looks like they're developing that's
so sad if they
are um they're cutting down the trees
there's a big quarry there and it does
it looks like
they're cutting down the trees and doing
something there that's kind of sad
because these towns were so small and
they just kind of fit in the
um just in the countryside
um
haitian international germany
oh is that a paper mill i'm wondering if
that's a
uh software inner engineering
one of the houses over here too actually
looked like it had
um oh this one has so they have solar
panels now
on top of the roofs they got solar
panels which is sort of cool
i don't remember this
i don't remember that so that must be
new i don't know what it is
but we always had people we always had
people driving through
they'd go around the corner and down and
the kids would there
was really no place for them to play
they'd be in the middle of the road
um but when the when you got
places like this um
you know when you're in an apartment you
really can't
it makes it challenging you know because
there's not much of a place for them to
play like maybe down in this little area
no place to set or anything like that
but some of the places they were big
though
there's oh look i wanted to go to the
other one
um i wanted to go to hanbok because
that's where i lived before i moved to
abram abramsdorf
h a h
and b a and that that oh
all these places in germany had
um are we gonna go are we gonna fly
there
um oh they they had um locks
where if you lock the door and took the
keys out
um you took the keys out then
the door you'd be locked inside the
house and
someone had made some remarks about that
and they said well if
some soldier joked that he could just
leave his
um you know lock his wife in the house
while he goes on duty handbag
okay are we gonna
uh well
okay are we gonna hamburg
okay vilsack hanbok is
where's it at okay vilseck is up here
vilsack and then the training area and
then fry
fry hung and
uh they'll set commissary
okay so we were uh
let's see hambach is right in here
somewhere
nine two two five six i can't actually
see it find it right now um
because we drove up the road
to go towards vilsack and then we
let me flip this back over and see if i
can find it
so we'd always go up this way headed
towards
vilsack
unless the name changed maybe the name
changed
let's see here
hanbok germany
okay they h a h
and b
maybe they added a name to it no is it
not there anymore
i can't imagine they changed the name of
it
but that's oh that's weird
that's weird so this went inside
um hot dog fried huff vilsucker strasse
uh where is that inside of
which city is that oh there it is
there's hanbok
well it's there but for some reason it
wasn't coming up
um
hanbok so
apparently yeah they've added a name
they've added a name to hanbok
okay so here's here show so there's
amberg
handbook
okay let's zoom up here and see if i can
so we come in on 14
and then what is oh fro for one
fruit straw see um
what is that fran fran bergstrassie
fran bergstrassie uh let me see if i can
remember where i lived here
okay where's fraunberg's they actually
had a really cool
picture on that was kind of funny
there was a picture in the field at one
time
on one of the farmers had carved a
picture
and let's see
and then me
and
okay so and then right and i think it
was right now this
they don't have the tower in there
anymore they don't they're always doing
construction
but they don't have the tower anymore in
there anymore
they they took that out they used to
have a place where there was storks
um but that's gone
unless
they've moved roads i thought it was
kind of sad if they took that old
building out but i think they did
this is called the villes or river vils
vils
let me see if i can find
uh because i always walked with the kids
it was so much it was so pretty there
was there was traffic but
i think that i was thinking we might
have lived on this
road i one time
before germany blocked street view
we were able to see street view
this might be not sure
one of these houses i think is probably
where we lived because i think we lived
on fraunberg strasse
and so we went down a few houses because
i
because it was just kind of a straight
walk out
towards the storks and that's what one
of the ladies was
telling us that um there was storks
on top of this building and it was f oh
my gosh it was fun to watch they had a
nest
and we would go through a little area
i've got picture
video of it actually then we'd head down
to the main road but now they've got a
circle in here
and then sometimes we walk over to the
river and it was really pretty
i just don't remember exactly it's one
of these two houses i believe because
there was like a little fountain in the
front yard
and there was kind of a grumpy old
grandma she was she was kind of grumpy
and
she would swat at my son's hand when he
was touching the bushes
all he wanted to do was touch the bushes
and she was swatting at his hands and
she was mean
and so yeah
um anyway
and then pawn barracks of course doesn't
exist anymore
um just like pawn barracks doesn't exist
um the place we lived at pritchard place
fort knox doesn't exist
they built new houses and
there is
i don't know if fort riley still has the
same one if they tore it down i wouldn't
be surprised if they actually tore it
down
um
but i think there was fort ord doesn't
exist
um
and fort knox doesn't exist
fort knox where we stayed at fort knox
doesn't exist
i might have already said that yeah
pritchard place in fort knox is the same
safety
but it's like when i i mean we i just
remember the housing area that we stayed
at
so they're the same thing of course for
fort ord and hayes park is the same
thing but they don't exist anymore
because hayes park belongs to
seaside now is my understanding it went
back to the
local nationals just like in germany it
went back to the local nationals
um
yeah and anyway that's it
