Day 20 Syracuse – Pozzallo 70 km

Right to the picture on the left, I HATE IT WHEN ART IS SCREWED UP. Don't oversleep tomorrow morning!!!! At eight o'clock the ferry leaves and I should be 1.5 h before there. Until I have packed and saddled my gear, still imponderables are inplanned, so a good 5 o'clock get up. To the ferry port it is not far, if necessary I could push, but must not be. Here in the accommodation is a key ready to open the garage and again for a gate. I hope it all works out that way. Enrico Caruso (great name!), my host, has gone through the whole thing with me twice, thank you. He understood me. I have the ticket hopefully that will be enough electronically. We will see, worry, worry, what can go wrong? Once I would like to have peace in the head. Never mind. What happened today? Not much. I got into conflicts with a few drivers again. You get passed on the left in a traffic circle, on the left and then he pulls out right in front of you. Why? Would have cost him just as much time to stay behind me. There was a stinky finger from me. He didn't like that and he stopped and got out and yelled around. Well, and then he saw what was coming up to him. He got in quickly and drove on. Another one I gave to understand that he could have blinked, then I could have turned a long time ago. He stopped, rolled down his window and wanted to discuss. Despite the language barrier, he understood very well how I find his behavior. Has also quickly accelerated without his window back up. Very sallow in the face. Scold words I can. Another situation gave me also to think. On the whole route is 50 and overtaking ban. In front of me drove a racing cyclist, on the opposite lane a car wanted to turn left, I was somewhere behind, then a car raced past me, easy 100, just fit between the two through and then honked when he was past. All right, all little Mikael Schuhmacher (pronunciation: animated movie Cars). Did I mention that the patriarchy is still very strong here? My personal opinion is that traffic violations (in Germany) are punished much too mildly and controlled much too little. Something like this must be punished severely. In the U.S. it is a bit different and look at how they drive. That can be really expensive for them if they injure someone with the car. On the buses it says 72639-Pain-1224 call bla bla. You can get rid of a lot of money very quickly if you hurt someone, and they drive accordingly. In Germany, this is more of a trivial offense if you kill someone, pedestrian / cyclist defnetly also had a partial fault (no helmet, no light, no bla bla), defnetly. 1 year on probation and then make the driver's license again, then it's good, he needs it to live. In my opinion, someone who has injured/killed other, weaker road users should never be allowed to drive a motor vehicle again. Whether partial guilt or not. Honestly, a, let's say fleeting, acquaintance has given me once to understand that if he knew that I would be in the Remstal with the bike on the road, he would like to run me over with his truck. Such an accident just happens (and before someone says again: "He never said that."). I have witnesses for this statement. "Oh, he was just joking". Sure, I didn't understand him then). I think that was the first time that I blocked someone on Facebook. That's just the way it is with patriarchy, looking for a position of power when they feel inferior (it's about their impression). So what else? My front brake has been bugging me today. I have the yesterday re-centered and it ran well, mine am today on the descents easily come to the 45 km / h without kicking, before it was 39 km / h. This also went because hardly any potholes were to be found on the roads. But is made grinding noises and such things annoy me. Since I had time, I always stopped and readjusted again. Either it ran and made noise or it did not run so well, but was noise-free. That really annoys me. My inner voice told me, come on, let it go, it's working. How often have I tried to optimize a "running system", how often have I fallen on my face? Very often. Today I had time. At some point I have the luggage down, the brake removed, cleaned reset and remounted. And lo and behold. Runs without noise. Top. Should look for an expert search, just that someone says "Normalo", enough. Am then times curious as that is tomorrow on Malta. I am already totally looking forward to this island. So now I have a few lines from this uneventful day sucked out my hands. Only 70 km, if I look at the sadly small amount of food to cover my calorie needs I'm looking forward to the upcoming tasks in mountain Europe soon. In this sense, I now wish a good night and please Mr. Putin end them but please this war and all others and they sat down to rest.
