This is a good idea: a Lenten initiative in Karlsruhe from the churches, environment groups and the local public transport (link in German) Basically, if you sign a statement to the effect that either you can't use a car during the period of Lent (for whatever reason), or that you will reassess your car use during Lent, you can buy a cheap pass for the local public transport network. Furthermore, taking part in the scheme entitles you to a subsequent discount on a season ticket.

... and now I ought to try to get some redrafting done. I hate editing my own work, at least academic work.

Overheard at work:

"Would you like a sweet?"
"No thanks, I've given up for Lent."
"Really, all of it? Well, at least Easter's early this year."
