Jens,

Cheer up, there will be warmer days and many more races. Many more winners. A lot more losers too, it is true. It seems to me that Danes are a persistent lot. Tenacious and determined. Otherwise, the Norse would not have made it to the New World ahead of everyone else, eh? Of course, that was not so much a race as very serious business.

I found several more videos about the battle of Waterloo on YouTube yesterday. One starred Sean Bean of "Sharpe's Rifles fame and many other films including one "Bond" and one "Clancy" film. I have always liked him. He is a solid actor. That one comes in two parts and explores the battle through the soldier's pov. Another was the "Battlefield Detectives "Massacre at Waterloo" documentary. Both are well done.
