Testing out how longer posts in micro.blog look while cross-posting to bluesky and mastodon, so here’s an unremarkable story about a pleasant day I had on vacation. If you find yourself on a self-guided tour of the bike trails along the Isar just south of Munich – and I mean, who doesn’t at some point in their life? – I highly recommend following the signs to Waldwirtschaft, a lovely biergarten right off the bike trail. I had a beer and a currywurst and listened to a trad jazz group from Poland, possibly one of the most pleasant afternoons I’ve ever stumbled into.

A group of musicians are playing under a large gazebo in the middle of a outdoor biergarten patio. You've got at least a clarinet, cornet, trombone, stand-up bass, guitar, and banjo. The sign in front says Dixie Company Poland
