I'm not elf, I'm not 16, I'm much, much, older.

Aren't there more important things to do?

The road and immediate vicinity would be rendered treeless. It's one of 
those road safety thingies. Bunch of wusses.

Brabant actually has sandy areas. Heath. Not quite the desert, but with 
a nice gust of wind you might get some sand in your eyes and hair. 
Nothing serious. Not like the killer sandstorm they had in Germany 
recently. Hmmm, I don't think you got that news in China.

Desserts, however are quite abundant and tasty.

Are you trying to get me to hypnotize me into thinking I consumed a 
placebo effect product through subliminal messaging?
