Reading time: 2 minutes Thinking time: that's entirely up to you ;) Funny thing how the maximum speed limit in the Netherlands came down from 130 to 100 kilometers per hour during the day just as the Covid-19 virus obliged pretty much the whole world to slow down in all aspects as well.

Leestijd: 2 minuten Los van het feit dat ik als Vlaamse Katholiek ben opgevoed, heeft deze post op zich niet zozeer met geloof te maken.
