Alsace

We stay in Russia for WTCC at the Moscow Raceway.

Frenchman from Alsace, Ivan Muller, was the winner for Citroën from pole position.

This was his third win of the season and win number 44 of his time in this series.

So he must have been in this series for a long time.

On the first day, our instructor poured two unidentified white wines.

I decided that one was an Alsace-style Riesling and the other a German Cabernet-style Riesling from the Moselle or Rhine.

And I was right.

I remembered thinking smugly to myself, piece of cake, or maybe I should say, sip a wine.

They did not know the stone was a billion years old.

because the concept of deep geological time had not yet been invented but they knew the stone was old in the way that all miners know the rock they work in is old by the feel of it by the way it resists the pick by the way it holds its secrets A second mining boom came after the early 1700s, when the loss of Alsace to France cut off access to mines on the western side of the Rhine and drove prospectors deeper into the Black Forest's interior.

The political border that now ran down the Rhine valley was also a geological border, separating the western shoulder of the rift, the Vosges, from the eastern shoulder.

The Black Forest and the miners, who had been working deposits on both sides of the valley, were now confined to one side.

Montgomery signed the apology letter.

In addition to the Luftwaffe offensive, Hitler ordered the German Army Group G, which held the southern part of the German Western Front in Alsace and Lorraine, to begin an offensive on New Year's Day against the Allied 6th Army Group, which, as you know, consisted of the US 7th Army and the French 1st Army, the forces that had invaded the Mediterranean coast of France back in August.

With a portion of his 3rd Army turning north to attack the German salient in the Ardennes and relieve the siege of Bastogne, Patton was forced to take units off his front line.

Eisenhower had ordered Patton's section of the front reduced, with the U.S. 7th Army on Patton's right flank, to widen its share of the front.

Stavka originally planned the offensive to begin January 20th, but forecasts predicted a thaw, which would mean mud, Bad news for an armored offensive.

So the offensive was moved up to the 12th.

Red Army commanders likely also wanted to take advantage of the Wehrmacht's attempted offensives in the Ardennes and Alsace and Hungary.

Or maybe that's just another way of saying the Soviets wanted to take some pressure off the Western Allies without giving them credit for it.

I was made acquainted by him with poetry from quite a different side, in another light than heretofore, and one, too, which suited me well.

The poetic art of the Hebrews, which he treated ingeniously after his predecessor Loth, popular poetry, the tradition of which in Alsace he urged us to search after, and the oldest records existing as poetry, all bore witness that poetry in general was a gift to the world and to nations, and not the private inheritance of a few refined, cultivated men.

I swallowed all this, and the more eager I was in receiving, the more liberal he was in giving, so that we spent the most interesting hours together.

The other natural studies which I had begun, I endeavored to continue, and as one always has time enough, if one will apply it well, so amongst them all I succeeded in doing twice or thrice as much as usual.

And I also did not lack such a little spot which, although it did not come out with importance in the landscape, nevertheless more than all the rest attracted me with an amiable magic.

On these occasions, the imagination was excited by relating our adventures and separate little jaunts were concerted, nay, often undertaken on the spur of the moment of which I will circumstantially relate only one instead of a number since in many respects it was of consequence to me.

With two worthy friends and fellow boarders, Engelbach and Weiland, both natives of Lower Alsace I repaired on horseback to Savern where in the fine weather, the friendly little place smiled pleasantly upon us.

The sight of the bishop's castle awakened our admiration, the extent, height, and splendor of a new set of stables bore witness to the other comforts of the owner.

So you'll know exactly who Friedlander was.

Friedlander had claimed, wherever he went, that he had been chief rabbi in his younger years of Mühlhausen in Alsace.

Alsace, Lorraine, is today in France.

Today it's in France, depending on what year it's in France.

Today it's in France.

He had been chief rabbi of Mulhausen in Alsace.

I was able to check the official records of Alsace, and in particular Mulhausen, and in fact Friedlander had lived in Mulhausen for some 14 years.

He of course never served as chief rabbi.

Cooks and their knaves cried, Hot pies, hot, Good pigs and geese, Come and dine, come and dine.

Taverners, too, called, White wine of Alsace, And red wine of Gascony, Wine of the Rhine, And wine of Rochelle, To wash down the roast.

All this I saw asleep, And seven times more.
