St. David (Wales)

written by Christine Kretschmann

A brooklet flows in front of an old place.

Jackdaws fly over it without any haste

And the sun set the stones in a golden glaze.

The place was once a bishop place

Where priest,knights and peasants went in to their peace.

Jackdaws flew over this place without any haste

Time passed and the bishop place decay.

But was nit changed was the heart of this place

The jackdaws which fly over this place without any haste.

Where will you find this place ?

Just go down to Wales

and find St. David with its old bishop place.

The time of election campaign has started and suddenly the politicians find their heart for us and harass us with frenzy discussions.

Though there is no real difference in their political programs, they look for a topic which brings them the highest level of attention.

More…

Take Germany for example, the number one topic at the moment is

“ How to handle criminality of adolescence ?”.

The politicians use a case of egregious crime as starting point that something has to be done. I concur with them, but the same politicians cut implacable the numbers of judges and policemen. Furthermore they terminate several social projects.

It seems that they oust these actions out of their minds This paroxysm of them is absolutely reprehensible.

With perfunctory decrease of personnel working in the jurisdiction, they exacerbate the problem of adolescence criminality. They use adolescence of indigent migrate families as effigy of criminals. It is quite arbitrary chosen, but who cares in fray of votes about this.

Most people are cognizant that this group has a really monolithic problem

of integration, but why is this ?

On the one hand the families quell every attempt of integration, they flout against integration. On the other hand the political attitude was to ignore this fact more or less. With the result that over 60% of these adolescences faill in school and get no work. Programs to revert these adolescence to school or work are terminated by the politicians. The other 40% has to skirmish against allegation of being criminal.

No forthwith action can solve this problem, only an incipient awareness of the problem and the will to solve it, could prevent that more and more adolescences are wrest to criminality.

After Xmas we all find out with consternation, that we gain some weigh.

Everyone concur that it wouldn’t been feasible to resist the affluent offer of tasty food. Xmas days are red letter days, where we can perfunctory ourselves a little bit. Enjoying family and friends and of course the tasty food.

The “health experts” like to disparage our behaviour, but it is really so flagrant ?

In TV and radio these past master tell us how egregious our eating behaviours are.

They deride us and become wet blankets. The experts support us with dubious advices to eat more fruit and less meat,masticate every bite twelve times and so on.

The advices might be laudable, but they give us chagrin and would lead every Xmas party to an fiasco,if we really obey their advices.

We are precocious enough to quell this and indulge ourselves and let the voluble experts behind us. We simply eschew to weight us on Xmas and everything works fine.

The second week in the new year elicit that we really have gain some weigh and now it is time to sally to the next fitness studio or do some exercises.

The sweets are from now obsolescence until next Xmas.

The birds aren’t singing any more
the bees has gone for long

But in my memory I hear their humming song.

Be wise and learn the nature way
that’ s what they also hum.

The earth is now a desert place
the beauty has gone for long.

The only hum that mankind hum
was the hum of grown.

No signs will left from our life,
but nature can come back.

And then the bees can start their hum
without the human race.

It is a rampant assumption that climate change is promulgated only the last 20 years.

The incipient science of climate was around 1890, scientist developed the first automatons to measure the influence of carbon dioxide. They prognosticated, that the increase of carbon dioxide, would cause egregious effects for the world climate, like the melting of the polar ice.

The public called the scientist as inane and admonish them for undermining the industrial revolution, the hapless scientist became culprits.

Time passed two world wars took place and again economic took the science of climate down a peg until the 1970.

The flower power time elicit the idea of a new ethic view, which was concured by the young generation. However people get older and the duplicity of life caught them and they passed the buck to next generation.

In a clandestine way the scientist researched despite of all the duress and try to convey the pernicious consequences of carbon dioxide to all possible authorities and admonish the politicians that they should do something against it, because of the inexorable process of global warming if a certain threshold is reached.

The politicians haven’t construed the right measurements , they are still trying to stall any progress and waffle around a decision, in establishing one conference after the other.

With that paucity of ethic and their duplicity, we can only expect the worst.

It is acrimonious way to say so, but if you give one economic idea the impunity then no cessation is possible.

As long as the flagrant neo conservative dream is lionized you will only find distraught scientist an no solace for us.

The only way would be to change our behaviour and demand cars which use other fuel as oil or gas, don’t buy at malls ,support the local shops and buy local products as far as possible. Those things would change more then any conference on Bali or another paradise in the south pacific.

Keep that in mind.

Cats have an infamous reputation of being mundane, but this isn’t true every cat has its own character and its way to achieve things.

Do you know what does tin opener means ?

A tin opener is an euphemism for cat owner. People who hasn’t a cat see cat owners as dupes, because they do exactly what the cat want.

If a cat come into a household it is an incipient process, with no hope of cessation.

With the first jostle against your knees and a purr , you are wrest and change to a lackluster cat servant. You do inadvertently everything with the voracious believe that it carry your day .

It is ominous how fast you can turn in a tin opener. The following rules show you how it works.

1. Cat toilet: Cats loathe unclean cat toilets, to convince the owner to clean them on a regular base, the cat reprimand the owner in behaving in any incongruous way, like use the favourite plant as a loo

   or simple spread the content of loo over the floor. The owner will clean the loo from now on regularly.

    

2. Food: To get tasty cat food the cat simply repudiate the old cat food in bristle the tail, purr in caustic way or start vomiting after ate it.

    

3. Cuddling: To get the right amount of cuddling the cat jostle its head against the knees and purr in a tremulous way.

The next time you meet a cat owner doesn’t show any sign of condolence, ask “How’s the cat ?” and be assure to get a nice small talk about how fabulous its cat is.

Today our streets are abounded with all kinds of auto mobiles, this sophisticated automaton has a voracious demand on space.

In the annals of human it is paradox that we need more time to find a parking space ,than to get from one town to town another.

Parking spaces are realms where you can find imploring people. It is a real drudgery to get a parking space during lunch hour. It’s an interminable story of to be or not to be a successful car driver.

It is engrossing to see a matron badger its husband to drive them every mile. The day of such a pitiful man is replete with driving challenges and the conclusion that their marriage is a flash in the pan.

However one of the biggest challenges is to deal with the car. Nowadays

it isn’t possible to change a lamp without going to a garage and pay a large amount of money. It turns out that the new car is a pig in a poke, because after a while the maintenance costs are higher than the price of the car.

Therefore it is eminent for every serious car owner to steeped in the manuals of its cars to understand them, but with the compound gadgets the owner only gets a tinge of that elaborate automaton.

After scrutinize the manual the owner can interprets the health of its car..

By a flashing lamp the owner perceives that something goes wrong,

accepts this indiscriminately, because its believe in technology is

voracious.

If I should prognosticate how the human race will develop. I see humans with very short legs, several fingers to cope with all the funky buttons- and maybe they would also a little bit obese, due to the fact that they forget how to move without technical assistance.

To pour oil on troubled waters I hope that our addiction to cars will end and we all eat a humble pie for that what we’ve done to our environment and ourselves.

Today most of us are commuters, because work is only available in big cities where living expenses are such high that we have to live far away from our working place.

As a result every morning a throng of hapless people make their way to their offices,grapples their way through a plethora of hindrances.

Especially train commuters are a special kind of people. You would assume that these people must implore every time that the train should be on time.

That might be true for the first weeks, but after a certain time the commuter alters either to a intrepid or irate person.

They get used to the pretext of the railway speaker, who fabricates stories for you why the train is late.

The stories are not very adroit,but a vigilant listener can interpret them. The main approach of the story is to cajole you that the train is late because of supernatural phenomenon.

In the summer time heavy rain showers are quite common, as well as hotness which cause the tracks to melt in some mysterious way. In autumn there are leaves on the track and with the start of November person like to lay on the tracks to enjoy the leaves and the mist.

They are really wet blankets for us commuters, because they cause delays of several hours. It seems this people are avid to cause trouble, as a kind of punishment.

Don’t try to beard the lion and ask a conductor or the help line about this issues, they will feed you up with laconic pretexts.

Most annoying for train commuters are strangers -must of them are kind of felons- accost you and ask you for money or even worst they start to play music, without any nuance of melody or rudimentary knowledge of music.

To get rid of them you have to gesticulate in an international manner, because most of them can’t speak your mother tongue. Mostly it ends that you try in furtive manner to escape these individuals under the pretext that you have to reach the connection train.

All in all it enhances your picture of humans, believe me or not if you use a train to commute you get a really good impression of the society.

On the other hand car commuters are in interminable fight of getting a parking space, find a cheap gas station depend on the time of day or escape the traffic jams, which occur in the morning and in the evening.

They missed the opportunity to used the commute time in studying people

or educate themselves via books,newspapers,radio or itunes.

Perhaps it is a kind pyrrhic victory for us train commuters, decide by yourself which kind of commuter you would like to be.
