going-to-work breakfast party.

26th February
2016 Awaken, disconnect the mask, go to the desk in the dark '"Three ggarhs for mister Mook". The glasses fall to the floor with a typical sound, they are very light, they are made of titanium wire and plastic. Find the white 'phone turn off the seaside melody. The shower is, as usual, wet and warm. Finish the whole morning procedure off by brushing the teeth with an electric toothbrush. Then, back to the bedroom, find the glasses where they have fallen, get dressed, black shoes today, finally, lock the cat inside, go down the stairs and out into the street. It is dry and cold today
 It is also market day in the town all the stalls are being set up. The man who has his stall inside a plastic tent is busy cutting a rope of sausages into single ones. He is a man with a small pigtail, maybe he is letting his hair grow for the medieval pageant next year. Or maybe he just likes it that way.
Dolores is at the bus stop, just sitting there, huddled in her dark winter coat. She always looks grief-stricken, she always gives a small smile in recognition ot the mornings greeting. The bus has a different driver today, a friendly quiet man. Pay him, and take the five minute, five stop, journey to the railway station.

The pig-tailed smoker is there in hits short sleeved shirt, out in the ice cold morning, smoking his cigarette. Big Blondy is slow today, but that does not matter. Hedgehog is sitting at a different place today, the television is showing a sports programme Blog and drink the large coffee, watch Hedgehog leave, and follow five minutes later.

 Rosenheim diesel train is in, and there is a goods train in the station as well, with an endless stream of tank containers on all of it`s waggons. Maybe forty huge grey cylinders, each one with GATX written on it in white letters.

The train is on time yet again. The carriage fills with a group of official persons who all seem to work in the same office, maybe they are all police officers. They make the same jokes as every day, One of them is in uniform. And they are joined by more of the same sort in Moosburg. They have a thermos flash and paper cups with them, they have an everyday early morning, going-to-work breakfast party.
