2.234086242 years, the row increases in intensity. A row rhymes with wow!

19 August 2015, Monday.
struggle across the cluttered floor of the bedroom inthe dark, silence the clock: It was left there last night, in a fit of ever-increasing forgetfulness.
The shower is long getting warm today, the walls of the old house are cold now with the approaching winter. Use a throwaway razor to shave away the stubble of the last day, and decapitate a pimple. Blood flows in the morning, think of the Dexter series and cover the blood with a small patch of tissue. Organise clothing, all of it fresh and clean for the beginning of this week. Put yesterday's things into the 'clothes basket for washing. and then feed the noisy cat. The cat likes routine.
And then, when the glasses are found, the hair brushed, it is time to go,
There is a large trailer belonging to the Mueller chain of toilet article shops. A full container packed with soap and toothbrushes, cleaning articles and perfume.
It must have been left there in the night for the shop employees to unload this morning.
The man in charge of the discount bakery is sitting in thehind the window with one of his employees having break fast .Blond and and long greasy haired, hair to his shoulders, a small moustache. Go through the archway of the town gate, and to the bus stop, there to greet Dolores, who is suffering from the cold. She is rolled up like a small animal in her coats and scarves.
A well dressed man with a neat little heard and a rucksack arrives, he has been using the bus for the past few weeks. He does not have his change ready, worse, his money is buried in the nether of his rucksack. He is terribly embarrassed at having to fumble around searching. He may be a teacher. Yes, Teacher!
The bus waits anyway. It is too early, and, until his system tells him that he can leave the stop, the driver needs to wait. Teacher seaves the bus after two stops and Dolores one stop later.
        One of the new automatic doors to the station is dysfunctional already. So much for the reliability of modem technology.
        The new team leader at Yorma's nerves her coffee, diligently, steadily. And when she has finished that she wipe all the surfaces in front of the sugar and syrup dispensers, keeping the place clean -diligently steadily neatly.
        Look at the silent television up on the cafe wall, there is news of protesters in Dresden, complaining about 'refugees. They are using the right to demonstrate in order to display their xenophobia and ignorance in public. Dresden is known for a large rightwing population. and obviously justly so. Perhaps they are worried that there will not be enough social welfare money to go round.
"Wir sind ein Volk" is written on the plakards."Ein wiederliches Volk"
And for today, a second cup at coffee, before leaving for the platform. Take a later train, avoid the building sites
That was a lucky decision, the coffee maker on board the train has broken down today...

and it is Monday again, back to work. 
On the news, radikal right wing Germans and Swiss.
In Chicago a six year old shoots a three year old playing cops and robbers.
