and in the "Agile Manifesto" two of the four values are:

Responding to change over following a plan

A Snackbar on Texel ...

Lucky me had another day on this beautiful island ... Enough time to cycle along the coast and visit Den Burg. There I passed a Snack Bar. On the sunblind I discovered the sentence: "Summer is a state of mind". And as I liked it much, I share it now with you. Anyone else discovered this one?
