Revision

The significant other was singularly unimpressed by the ramblings from my walk the other day. Thus, I present a different version, thanks to the AltaVista translating program. This time, I fed the basic English text into the nifty box and translated it into German, and then back into English. A simple change, but one that obviously improves the text.

(Note: The program didn't retranslate all the German into English. Thus, I've replaced the lengthy, untranslated German words with the English word "pickle.")
