has signaled the last winter that he is willing to hold in Moscow and surrounding catchment. My favorite season is here. Snow not only improved my mood, but my entire life. This year the winter was not only much later than usual, he was greeted with a true media fireworks.
already surpassed since October the Weathermen in their predictions. How long, how cold and snowy as will be the winter, about the meteorologists spread in all available media. Moscow has reason to fear any bottlenecks in the energy sector, is stressed again and again. I can not remember that sooner such a fuss was made about the winter, could I imagine that it will be a little distracted by the effects of the crisis. Always hit the monkey and her love affair, "star" on the ice, a new very young groom the pop icon Alla Pugacheva and other rubbish must be supplemented with other information already. Not to forget the birthday of Ded Moroz, the in his Moscow residence was celebrated elaborately. Went up but the winter quite well.
Despite all the warnings and requests from the traffic police on all motorists to convert their vehicle to the winter, she met the first snow fall like lightning from a clear sky. This reminds me a lot of times past. In the GDR there was every August or September and the winter readiness where all proud of snow removal equipment were presented. Despite everything, it caused the first delicate snowflakes a chaos.
snow removal works very well in Moscow, the city is always open after heavy snowfall. Thus, in the possession of winter tires. Yesterday we experienced the year once committed "Day of the body plumber" when lurking after the first snowfall of the body damage devil at every turn. All had after the rear-end collisions, and after creeping forward movement formed a Moscow traffic jams Length of about 700km, or about the route to St. Petersburg. Other hand, take but the 400km-jams that form on some days in Moscow, from downright short.
In the metro it is now even more closely, the anorak and transitional coats are replaced by lush fur coats and down jackets. Densely crowded at all sweat patient to himself. Corrosive if the sweat runs down the spine. Fortunately, In most cases, the anger rising heroically to suppress everything and everyone, otherwise the good old subway in no time a melee hallway.
absolutely synchronous with the falling flakes vortex conflicting reports about the fate of the ruble and the impact of the crisis upon us. It is very reminiscent of the game with the potatoes, out, in, out, in time, a ruble devaluation, etc. is flatly ruled out, then not again. After looking in the piggy, it sounds from the central bank, nor anything else. Further support rubles eats on the reserves, so the good is devalued, but sooooo slow. 08/17/1998 is not repeated, it calms the mind. A rather rickety bridge over which we should go there.
with the Congress of the ruling party "United Russia" today is a big joker pulled from his sleeve. The speech of the party leader and Prime Minister Putin Fonte all citizens may lost to come impending positive feelings and national pride again. Applause, sustained applause, standing ovation, where have I seen this before? Viktor Chernomyrdin, a political veteran, the "father" of Gazprom, former prime minister under Yeltsin and now long-time ambassador to Ukraine, has made in his speeches and statements made many comparisons, which have now become familiar quotations. "We can create what we want, what party whatsoever, there is always a bottom line CPSU out" is one of them. difficult to refute.
A true blessing that the people have their cottages, which they feed to some extent. Fruit and vegetables on the farm, they become a delicious pickles, pickled tomatoes, sauerkraut, pickled garlic, delicious potatoes, canned fruit and fruit juices. This is a timeless and crisis-proof currency, which in Soviet times already, as in the winter except Schrumpeläpfeln cabbages and little fruit and vegetables were to buy the sheet anchor was. Sprightly grandparents be stationed at the dacha, so that possibly can still be kept chickens. Moreover, the dacha an inexpensive holiday destination.
it pulls me in summer less, Datschniki how Datschenbesitzer hot here to visit, I will take your invitation is welcome in winter. Heated dachas usually have a cozy fireplace and always a banya. Exactly that is the target of my desires. From the sweat room, after extensive Durchwalkung with fagots, in the snow jump is an incomparable pleasure. Physical tension dissolve into air, mental problems vanish as well. Crises are in Banjaperspektive less menacing. In this way a hammer here is overcome by one.
Long live the Banja and winter.
PS: What did the ruble and the snow together?
if you or they do not fall.
