VIAJE A NETHERLAND

Han pasado diez dias desde que he regresado de mi pequeño viaje a Amsterdam y algunas otras ciudades de aquella zona.
Trato de asimilar lo que he visto, lo que he vivido charlando con aquellas gentes y el trato en general recibido.


El mayor contraste para mi ha sido encontrar unas ciudades "limpias" y cuidadas hasta el mas mínimo detalle, otra faceta que me ha sorprendido muy gratamente ha sido encontrar a personas "mayores" que trabajan en diversas actividades, y además como absoluta e inesperada propina para mi, ha sido la suma amabilidad de todas sus gentes.  


Sin tropezar con una sola persona que no haya respondido cortesmente a mis requerimientos de información sobre calles, edificios o cualquier otro tipo de necesidad. Y no solo pararse y escuchar, también es ayudar en forma de acompañar indicando donde y como llegar, además de explicar detalladamente el funcionamiento de otros artilugios de los que carecemos en mi ciudad, Madrid, y que constituian pequeños problemas para el recien llegado.

No es sorpresa que las ciudades visitadas hayan sido bellas, limpias, acogedoras (le he visto en cuanto salgo de mi país hacia Europa), que las carreteras esten impecables, la ausencia absoluta de peajes, el que prácticamente todo aquel a quien he preguntado algo, o he solicitado ayuda, haya respondido favorablemente. 
Es quizás comprobar el respeto que los jovenes y niños sienten por su entorno, la corrección con la que escuchan a sus profesores o a quien les solicita ayuda, esto ha sido lo que quizás me ha sorprendido y agradado profundamente.

Ha sido un tour informativo y turístico hecho por nuestra cuenta alquilando un coche y visitando mi amigo y yo los lugares que nos apetecía visitar.
La experiencia ha sido magnifica, el tiempo afortunadamente ha sido genial y supongo que esta circunstancia favorece de lleno las experiencias vividas que ya iré relatanto para todo aquel que le interesen leerlas.

WHAT ABOUT YOU DEAR

Cuca touched you, write something for those who read this serial in which nothing ever happens, see if you encourage them a little.

Let´s go.

Okay, I'm Cuca, I am part of the gatufos group, I do not think of anything to say you, sorry.

My life is very scheduled in relation to my leisure activities and necessary to scroll through the days.

My normal activity stood about fifteen years ago, I was diagnosed with a disease that has no cure, multiple sclerosis, and I thought I would not last long time in this world. This has not happened, I was stopping my activities as a"normal person" who takes care of almost everything, look after emi, my daughters, house, shopping, pick up the phone, to receive friends, to go out and search medicines, to put joy and activity in the house, another house where we lived before, in order TO LIVE ON DESPITE THIS DISEASE.

I am and always have been an active, vital person which is acustomed to never ask for anything if I can do it, and being too quiet and never stopped.

This condition hit me in my true personality because I had to stay still, sitting for hours every day, it takes me an eternity to get up and go to the bathroom, and evil is what I have to constantly ask help for this or that. Although emi tells me, in his way of saying things "I would not ask drowning help so as not to disturb", as it looks like it's worth, I think I'm asking ever for too much.

Spent a year, another, another and I had to organize my life of leisure required. Complete 24 hours a day of activity without barely move. It's hard, you have to give much mind to make a program. I did it and take it down to the letter just till now.

Yeah, I'm scheduled to go spending hours, days, months, years and live aim of making the best possible times, not embitter my life, not life miserable for those who love you, ask as little as possible, do not complain nearly for nothing , trying to fix my life needs no help, do my physical and mental exercises every day of the year without missing one.
For that I developed and memorized a program for each day of the month, every hour of the day and even every hour of the night when I'm in bed and can not sleep. Ja, ja, yes I use to tell me my stories to be alert and not thinking about my life or my health condition.

And it works, it comes complete running almost thirteen years, who would say, no one knows if I am, badly or worse, if it hurts more than the usual discomfort that continues. Stop do not think, live every second plan and not think about achieving the next hour or the next day and fewer still will, we will do next month.
The future does not exist for me. Live today, now, this moment, and so I try to be happy in spite of this disease that is slowly getting worse.

I don´t need to go out, for what?, I do not need to be out home. It can take months and months without my chair rolling on sidewalks and so emi and Isabel do not have to push it.
I'm fine at home and not craved any change in my routine, this routine keeps me safe and kept safe the people I love in Gatufolandia.
To me the most important subject it is my loved one, Emiliano and my daughters. Don´t give them any thing to be worried about, but it is difficult. Emi is always alert watching me, trying to see what I nedd and asking every moment if I am good or not.
What can I do to reléase him?. Even to reléase Isabel?.
With my daughters there is not any problema as they use not to come here and see me. I do think that they suffer a lot seeing their mother in this condition and that´s the reason the two younger not come home for months or years.
Yes, I may understan them, but emi doesn´t I know that and it gives me some hurt to see him suffering this role.

Well that´s all for the moment, it is clear to me that  activities help me NOT TO THINK, HELP ME TO LIVE EVERY DAY, HAVING MY MIND ON OTHER SUBJECT HELPE ME TO FIND PEACE.

Greetings, cuca

LONG TIME WAITING

Long time waiting such a bliss
and so fleeting was 
that it did not seem to be true.



Faithful to whom, an idea
I never thought that the illusion
was so short, that without.


Your  soon awaken love would be
a daily pain instead of love
living without you.


It is an impossible dream
I never thought I could bear
but it has been true.


You have gone and here I am
suffering every moment
but living in pain after all.

DEAD LOVER

Without you one more day
endure hell every morning
in my eternal loneliness.

I thought you'd be with me always
and you go, you're gone
saying goodbye you left me.
 
Not a single word more
today I woke up without you
where have you gone my love.
 
This world was not for you
so young you left it knowing 
I am not living any more

Your absence I can not face
wherever you are soon we´ll be 
traveling together.

Another new path for walk
hand in hand forever
happy to be together again.

To run a new life, an endless one
that is my hope that leads me
to spend the rest of my life without you.

One day and another
travelling far away home
too soon you went away.

That´s my way of living
waiting to be at your side
it is a long lonely run

Why have you to go
that´s my question every morning
when I don´t find an answer

Not your hand to hold
not your body to caress
not your voice to listen to

Soon will be together
sure I am about my feelings
be quite and wait me

Which ever land
you could be
endless love will find you.

A TRIP TO NETHERLAND

An incredible nice trip going through several cities of Netherland and Belgium, also what is even better, just knowing people absolutely kind and gentle in Amsterdam but also round other cities of these lands.

Why not?, some photos of the trip so you can see this incredible country that I like so much.

Amsterdam, for me one of the cities I like more, it would be great to live some time in this nice beautiful place.

That´s all my friends, I would like to go again soon but I think it could be difficult.

A DAY LIKE TODAY

Who can foresee life will be like when someone decides to take the plunge and joined to the one that inspires you every day, to the woman he loves, or the man who will be her soulmate, mate or partner without which that life is meaningless.

  

So a ceremony or a simple promise seals the commitment to share everything.

It promises to be forever, or at least what movies or sometimes real life shows us, it is difficult to keep but many people succeed.

However it happens often more than desired, that love becomes aversion, someone who inspires us happens to be the enemy, and the new lives that may have procreate are the source of disputes and endless lawsuits.

I try to remember my feelings forty-five years in which such day ago like today I decided to take the step of joining my life that's still my partner, my friend, my love always, my wife.

I do not remember my feelings, but I remember my dream to get her ever for me, the one girl I was was in love, and I did not quite believe that she came with me to start a new life together. Yes it was like a dream when she said "yes I do" becayse scarcely I could believe she was in love with me till that point.

How would it last ?. No, I had no an idea, it was not a topic to raise it, just we lived our time forward, which is when you are in love and we live in a cloud that transports us to a world of everyday illusions.

Full Happiness made ​​everyday reality by having the loved one on our side, my side, and so one day, another one, weeks, months, and years.

Life goes by so fast, and without feeling almost thousands of anecdotes that populate our memories are long, and very different today.

A day like today, April 30th, forty-five years ago we promised, for each other aloud we said each other "Si, I promiss" (in Spanish) or "Yes, I do" and here we are continuing our life together, friends, companions, spouses and parents of three daughters , tuteladores now our cat as the daughters went out home and grandchildren have not come as might have been mine or hers desire at some point over.

"Thanks to life which has given me so much", your honey, your company, your absolute love without any doubt, always together, always loving and well over forty five years.

Thanks Cuca, my dearest friend and companion.

UN DIA COMO HOY

Quien puede preveer como será la vida cuando alguien decide dar el paso y la une al ser que le inspira cada día, a la mujer que ama, al hombre que será su alma gemela, al compañero o compañera sin el cual esa vida carece de sentido. Así una ceremonia o una sencilla promesa sella el compromiso firme de compartirlo todo.

Se promete que será para siempre, o al menos es lo que las películas o a veces la vida real nos muestra, es dificil mantenerlo pero muchas gentes lo logran.

No obstante sucede con frecuencia, mas de la deseada, que el amor se convierte en aversión, el ser que nos inspira resulta ser el enemigo, y las nuevas vidas que hayan podido procrearse son la fuente de disputas o pleitos interminables.

Yo trato de recordar mis sentimientos de hace cuarenta y cinco años en los que tal día como hoy decidí dar el paso de unir mi vida a la que sigue siendo mi compañera, mi amiga, mi amor de siempre, mi esposa.

No recuerdo mis sentimientos, si mi gran ilusión de conseguir llevarme al ser del que estaba enamorado, y no acababa de creerme que ella se venía conmigo a iniciar una nueva vida juntos.

¿Cuanto duraría?. Ni idea, no era un tema para plantearlo, simplemente viviamos nuestro momento con ilusión, la que se tiene cuando se está enamorado y vivimos en una nube que nos transporta a un mundo de ilusiones cotidianas.

Felicidad completa hecha realidad cotidiana por tener al ser querido a nuestro lado, a mi lado, y así un día, otro más, semanas, meses, años.

La vida pasa muy rápido, y sin sentirlo casí miles de anécdotas pueblan nuestros recuerdos que hoy son ya muy largos y diversos.

Un día como hoy hace cuarenta y cinco años nos prometimos, el uno para el otro nos digimos el "si quiero" o el "Yes, I do"  y aquí estamos continuando nuestra vida juntos, de amigos, de compañeros, de esposos y padres de tres hijas, tuteladores ahora  de nuestro gato pues las hijas se fueron para no volver y los nietos no han llegado como quizás hubiera sido el deseo mio o el de ella en algún momento ya pasado.

"Gracias a la vida que me ha dado tanto", tu cariño, tu compañía, tu amor absoluto sin ninguna duda, siempre juntos, por siempre amantes y así a lo largo de cuarenta y cinco años.

Gracias Cuca, mi mas querida amiga y compañera.

HAGO TIEMPO

Hago tiempo esperando a que sean las tres de la madrugada y salir hacia el aeropuerto de Madrid Adolfo Suarez.
Aunque parezca mentira salgo con un amigo, Cesar, hacia esa ciudad emblemática hoy, ayer, y siempre.

Cuna de libertad, tolerancia, y comercio a Amsterdam se la conoce por sus maravillosas vistas, sus canales, sus asombrosas luces iluminando el agua y el colorido de sus diferentes construcciones.

Tengo ganas de ir a esa ciudad desde hace más de treinta años, y hubiera ido con Cuca si las circunstancias de un traslado en el trabajo no frustrara nuestros planes de cuajo.
Habiamos vendido nuestras modestas joyas de oro para sufragarnos un viaje a esa ciudad para celebrar nuestros 25 años de estar juntos, de convivencia, de amistad, de amor.
Hete aquí que a Emiliano lo trasladan de oficina y las vacaciones cuidadosamente guardadas sufren una grave alteración, el viaje a Holanda se hace imposible y nos quedamos con las ganas por años.

Ahora Emiliano se va y Cuca se queda. Emiliano se marcha con Cesar, el compañero de Isabel, y ella se queda en casa cuidado de Cuca.


Todo resulta irónico, curioso, e inesperado. Emiliano toma el lugar de Isabel acompañando a su compañero e Isabel toma el lugar mio acompañando y cuidando de Cuca.

Mientras hago tiempo escucho las noticias, machaconas e incesantes sobre el ex-ministro D.Rodrigo Rato, al que parece están investigando por una serie de delitos incomprensibles para quien le tuvo como artífice del milagro ecónomico español que en muchos paises se alabó tanto.

¿Que le pasa a la gente?

Ex-presidentes salpicados por los escándalos de corrupción masiva en algún lugar de España. 
Este señor que lo fue casi todo, registrada su casa, su despacho, y saliendo escoltado por la polícia.


Yo no entiendo nada y cada vez entiendo menos. Y el resultado es notorio, me voy desentendiendo de todo lo que dicen sobre estos temas que se hacen eternos.
Están muriendo decenas de miles de personas masacradas en Asia, Africa, America o incluso en los supuestos paise civilizados que ven indiferentes como la adversidad se ceba en sus hermanos tratando de alcanzar un ápice de libertad que en sus paises no tienen.

Se trafica con todo, con chicas, con mujeres, con esclavos, con personas desesperadas, con hermanos que profesan distinta religión a la nuestra, con niños y niñas de los que se abusa sexualmente sin ningún pudor o compasión y aquí pasamos horas y horas hablando de fulano, de mengano, del otro de mas allá, y vuelta a empezar.

Que hartura de gente, que saturación de corruptelas increibles, y nunca se cansan de robar, amasar dinero, mas y mas, como si fueran los antiguos faraones a los que se enterraba con todas sus riquezas.

Nos vamos a morir todos, sin excepción, y me pregunto ¿para que quiere esta genta tanto dinero?.

Sinceramente, no lo entiendo, y ya ni tan siquiera me preocupa entenderlo o no. Llega un momento en el que a veces siento un profundo desprecio por el genero humano en general.

MEJOR TARDE QUE NUNCA

(Va por ti Alberto, maestro y amigo)

Es un refrán castellano muy apropiado para mi hoy pues podría haber empezado a estudiar "solfeo" muchos años antes, y quien dice tal puede  añadir "aprender piano" treinta, cuarenta o cincuenta años antes.

Lo estoy haciendo ahora, tarde, muy tarde en realidad, y que?. Pues esa
es la cuestión, que tarde mejor que nunca y teniendo este sabio dicho del refranero español me siento semi satisfecho.

¿Mi intención?. Aprender piano, tocar en algún momento, y seguir tocando el piano hasta que físicamente no pueda seguir.
¿Motivo?. Vocación muy tardía.

Y es que me gusta, por fín encuentro algo que realmente me gusta, disfruto haciéndolo y hubiera dedicado años de mi vida a conocer los intríngulis de una profesión como esta.

Haber disfrutado con mi trabajo es quizas la segunda mejor cosa que hubiera podido ocurrirme, y no ocurrió.

La primera mejor cosa si la conseguí, y está muy claro para mi que así es pues encontré la persona que me ha hecho feliz  durante toda una vida, mi amiga, mi compañera, mi amante, la madre de mis hijas, es decir mi esposa Cuca.

Pedir dos cosas de ese calibre es demasiada ambición, pues una profesión que te llene, en la que disfrutes y una compañera a la que ames durante toda tu vida es realmente casi imposible de lograr.

Pero no puedo dejar de reconocer que para algunas cosas, las que realmente importan, soy ambicioso y está claro para mi que los fundamentos de toda una vida podrían ser tres, cuatro o a lo sumo cinco aspiraciones básicas.
Un trabajo vocacional, un amor para siempre, unos amigos fieles, suficiente para vivir y a veces, no siempre, una familia que te de alientos para seguir viviendo cuando desfalleces. 
 

Y desfalleces aún teniendolo casi todo, lo se por mis propias vivencias, y esa familia por la que trabajas, madrugas, luchas, aguantas, te da la fuerza suficiente para seguir viviendo, mal, bien, o fatal, pero sigues.

En mi caso he tenido la gran suerte hoy de encontrar un "músico vocacional" que enseña. Alberto es una joya como persona y como profesor de música. Tiene paciencia, enseña lo fundamental con amor, aníma cuando progresas y hace suyo tu progreso. Eso hace que estudies mas, quieres que el se sienta también a gusto con su enseñanza. Y tiene la gran virtud del "entusiasmo" que sabe transmitir si está abierto a aprender.

Gracias Alberto, eres un tio majo que no tienes ningún inconveniente en compartir tus conocimientos tan duramente aprendidos.
Te admiro y te estoy profundamente agradecido, has sabido despertar en mi el gusanillo dormido de querer aprender piano y lo que es mejor "disfrutar haciéndolo" hasta el punto de desear hacerlo por años y años.

Mañana estaré de viaje, voy a Amsterdam, pero echaré de menos tener mi pequeño teclado a mano para seguir practicando y aprendiendo.  Un hecho así nunca lo hubiera imaginado.

GOING TO AMSTERDAM

Next weekend I am going to Ámsterdam being the First city to see in Netherland.
Afterward I would like to go to Brussels, one of the city that has the most beautiful square of Europe.

Al my life I was looking forward going to see these lands. Belgium with with cities like Gant, Brujas, Amberes, Lovaina and
several other villages that are a show of the European´s civilization.

Holland is a country that also I was anxious to visit in the past.
For years we, Cuca and me, were thinking in this land with marvellous cities being Ámsterdam one of the most incredible sights a visitor could see. It is called the "Venice of the North" for its several chanels and having also one of the most free stile of life since decades of the last recent history.


It is a pity that Cuca can´t be with me in this trip. She has to remain at home because her helth condition doesn´t let her doing a travel like this.

A friend is coming with me, so we will go with freedom from
one city to other, remaing in the site we like more.

Once we have come again to Madrid, I´ll tell you how has been
my experience.

ONE DAY (Story Part One)

A Story.

Keep falling branches of old trees or young, killing people walking below, and have even begun to fall suddenly whole trees, without any explanation to this phenomenon as disturbing.

Nobody knows why, unexplained collapse as if infarction were, but the trees have no heart, you ?.

Huge pine fall unceasingly here, there, and the sound is continuous, overwhelmed, that's going people who witness these tremendous facts of Nature wonder that it destroys itself.

It is a prelude of what is to come ?. It will be our world will end well, first falling trees, a few others there and each passing day pandemic consuming arboreal environment extends here.

In cities and towns the mayors do not know what to do, try to reassure its neighbors saying that they have reviewed the fallen and are apparently healthy, which still is much more disturbing.
Healthy? Question worldwide, as they will be healthy if they fall swoon to the ground and kill everyone who caught underneath.
Sheep, cows, people, chickens, everything is crushed under its weight.
No one can avoid looking up when it is below tree will fall over my ?, we ask everyone.

I do not usually leave home frequently and the two trees that had compared the viewpoint of felled two years ago caused me sad to see how the sawed and left the stump ground.
Today almost glad I not see them, would fear to fall against the glass and produce one mess.
Just as well, wait, do not go, no explanation will I tell myself.

The wait in vain because they do not have and can not give it, and the phenomenon of falling trees is spreading outside the cities, it spreads the field, other countries and the terror of such a global and inexplicable tragedy begins to spread throughout all regions of the planet.
This arborea slaughter is warning us a catastrophe near where the land protest the unnatural human intrusion ?. 
overcrowding in the cities, the annihilation of millions of plants by the inhuman and unnatural asphalt highways, roads and streets massive populations no longer respect the land or the animals, and natural grass is even eliminated and replaced by a mass green report that mimics the inimitable nature.
widespread alarm is what is occurring in the absence of a reasonable explanation.

It's not natural, it is a disease that attacks the whole the forest in the world and is decimating the forest stand ?, is the question being asked in the media, talk shows, and even within families. 

As old trees can fall leaving their roots exposed, the raised land and dread of anyone who sees or hears rumblings by large unexplained collapse for rural people and the city.

It is advertised with these facts ?.

try to reassure saying stop, which is transient, there is no evidence of such a fact and due to the lack of judgment or scientific evidence to support the theory of tree disease people speculate, media speculate, and terror spreads like a wildfire that is flooding the earth as they fall ancient giants that nothing had affected them before.
Some announces the end of the world and proclaim that we prepare for total disaster, extinction of life on Earth.
They invent nonexistent sentences of Scripture, and we come out anywhere prophets.

"They will come evils that ravage the land "and 
Armageddon foretold in the Bible is what comes to every mind.

Constantly theories or threats will evolve as this natural disaster are heard. We ask that i maginemos to trees falling because no longer find the right environment for their development. They fall endlessly, first in one area of the world, as is the case, then in all other places, no region or country is exempt and finally not be a single tree in the entire globe.
The living beings need those trees will go extinct with them.

We ourselves need trees to purify the atmosphere, breathing, and experts on duty wonder: how would last the required oxygen for millions of beings that inhabit this planet ?.  

Impossible to conceive life for birds, squirrels, human beings and all kinds of animals that need forest cover to survive, to breathe, to hedge the relentless sunshine, for rain, for the waters were going regenerating.

Who would be in the world? Hard to imagine.
No showers, no plants, no animals, how long would have to go to the absolute and utter desolation from seizing the whole earth.

Not really very little, and those who were surviving devour their own by not having to eat.
The marshes would go dry, the rivers would cease to flow, and the burning thirst would be relentless.
Finally death for almost all living things that depend on the forest, rain, water, and oxygen.

Possibly roaches, and other insects could survive?
Who knows, but it is likely that these beings also need trees to devour their leaves, lay eggs, flee the cold or extreme heat, especially breathing.

That alternative would seek to survive and be the only living a withered and desolate land ?.

In the absence of insectivorous birds, insects per million would propagate at least for now, making it impossible to end up with all different kind of existence.

And so the speculation continue of so-called experts that we are already putting the willies.
Fear spreads everything begins to be chaotic, everyone tries to dig in their homes, ensuring their lives, pursued strictly necessary and little else.

deaths crushing counted as thousands. 
At first succored the wounded, collected the dead beneath the branches, and is not given a rough and nobody dares to penetrate in a wooded area.
The bodies of animals and humans rot under the branches and the smell is irresistible.

Like land mines scattered that explode when stepped on, the trees fall without warning crushing everything around them.
Some flee to open, clear, even desert terrain, but food become scarce, roads are impassable with thousands, millions of fallen trees that prevent it passing through them.

Just circularcampo through possible scarce supplies to keep poorly stocked populations, and nobody thinks anything but survive the unknown and wait, wait it all happen.

Han finished the contests for whoever cares to make war when everything seems to be destroyed. 
All this is mere speculation to something that is happening in my city.
Dozens of branches have fallen this summer, have been killed two or three people, trees collapsing suddenly without knowing why and town hall promises to review the hundreds of thousands of trees growing in Madrid.

Someone may think that this review can be done ?.
I doubt it, and I think we should care much our environment or other generations will live situations impossible to conceive.

Sleep well, without nightmares, and look up when riding under the trees.

I decide to go out, it's been two months since my last break and hardly get stock in the house, my Gatufo is running out of your food and continually laments.

The poor cat understands nothing of what happens. My wife begs me not to leave, have much fear of what might happen to me, and prefers to be consumed without food before losing me.

She can not move, he is in a wheelchair and needs someone to push, help you join if you want sit elsewhere and can hardly be standing.

We rationed food to the absolute limits but is over.

There is no catastrophic speculation in the media. 
They have been controlled by the governments and the army is responsible to follow the necessary guidelines for do not panic.

We control everything, supermarkets, communications, some roads cleaned by removing thousands of trees to prevent the passage of trucks with supplies.
There cabinets crisis everywhere who strive to tackle the environmental catastrophe that involves loss of forests.

They do not tell us what will happen in the jungles of the Amazon and the like that are the lungs of the planet.

Terror is generally the army circulates through the streets of Madrid and tries to control that no looting or rioting .

I'm in the street and the view is bleak. No where some trees not being fallen having crushed cars, structures, roofs and producing countless casualties among unsuspecting pedestrians.
No bodies, have been withdrawing in the absence of physical danger of landslides, is not tree standing, and there more than danger of epidemics. 
Nothing says the number of casualties among the population they do not want to panic even bigger than it already is. 
 
Where I go ?, I think, the best approach to any known supermarkets. 
The first is open guarded by police, an endless line of people throng to get going. 
The line of people goes around the entire block, and large posters announcing that must be the ID of the relatives or units who live in one floor to deliver foods that are logically and rationed.

The order exists, at least for now, and that reassures me.
I call my wife on the phone and tell him what I've seen, I tell him to stay quiet, I'll take a long because I have to wait in line, and all is well then take the DNI yours and mine. 

He tells me not to worry about her, which is fine, and wait all it takes.

With patience I put in the row, pull my kindle and start reading trying to calm my spirits.
No whether to buy food Gatufo have to carry a document proving their identity and who lives with us.
If I can not have to share with ours, not there will be no problem.

In row I notice that there are all kinds of people, seniors, young men and women sometimes in pairs, almost everyone is silent or try to hear news on the radio.

The police and army have imposed a great respect, the order is saved and there, to my knowledge any kind of tumult.
When panic started if there was, then European governments were taking joint action and order was recovered in the streets.

Now people shut up and whispers quietly updated that often never be true.
Come filtered by governments and actually say nothing about what is going on.

How far the plague of "áboles and scrub Fallen" comes?. There is no comments, found some remedy or explanation ?. Nor is discussed.
Only regional or national news are given, what happens in European countries who suffer the same consequences and take similar measures than us.

There is a large cabinet crisis in Brussels, which dictates the rules of what needs to be done in different countries of the Union.
Nothing is said or says, secrecy is total.

It is possible to treat a general stampede that does not occur, fleeing the desolate areas of the European continent and marching by plane or any other means of transport to areas that have been spared the tragedy of trees.

There will be no ?, I wonder, or this is absolutely global.

I do not know, no one around me knows, but imagine or desire to think not, the consequences would be too horrible at short notice.

 We do not see anyone out, so will the other door, that way we do not know what they take.

Presumably as they pass
the first row supplies are They are ending. Nobody can control stocks if they know how many people will go to buy them.

I've listed what we need, I have always taken before and now with more reason. 
The review mentally not think of anything. 
I try not to talk with anyone and hear what others discussed.

Fear is what allowed understand all conversations. There is no possible explanation for what is happening, and the spectacle of all the trees that were in the walk, lying on the ground is not a reassuring image.
Han section which was in the driveway but almost no cars. People begin to save fuel for fear of what is to come. 
 
And that's the big question we all ask, when will it stop this ?, we will see in a month or even next week ?. It will all like, controlled, or we'll be in chaos ?.

Prefer not to speculate in my head but it's inevitable. When under the Guadia apocalyptic thoughts come to my mind and stroke plans to address the catastrophe. 
I can not think of anything, I have no car, my wife is almost incapacitated, can not walk, barely sit up, where I or I do if all gets worse ?. Again I say to myself, better not think about it, lives today, now faces what you have to do tomorrow is another day with other problems that have to be solved.

That's it, no more, many plans you want to do forever actually be another different than you thought or expected.

The entrance door is still closer, I look at the clock, the time has passed ?. Two hours, has not been too and even thought it would be more.
It's a bad sign, I think again helplessly, is a clear proof that food is finished and people take less because hardly can be anything.

Calla, do not think me tell you, you have already begun again assume the worst.

But it is true, check it as I enter, the shelves are nearly empty, and as I get to where they collect the notes of what we want take will crossing more half of what I had written.

I bring rice, some milk, beans, pasta, soap, eggs, and little else.
No vegetables, no fruit, no fish, no meat, no cheese, barely oil or sugar, I get a bottle and a kilo only, nor are potatoes, total not know how we will arrange for a week.

It's what they tell me, I sealed a role in specifying what I wear, date, and my next supply can do in a week. He is recorded on the computer and say clearly "do not try to go to another supermarket" because it is prohibited by a recent law. 
If I try to do can stop and no longer give me more supplies.
 
I'm overwhelmed, this is much worse than I thought it is not surprising that we leave for another heavily guarded door and indicate that there we comment anything to anyone about everything we've been told.

People waiting outside could mutiny and could cause an uproar, but it is what it is and thanks to the ration to reach as many people.

I also start to feel fear, fear of what is to come and a cold sweat begins to flow from my forehead.  
That'll give a Gatufo, rice ?, a bit of sausage, cooked ham that he likes, but is a product expires, then ?.

Before I head out to one of the managers to distribute what they have adjusted and ask if they have food cat.
I feel relieved when I said yes, to teach primer Pussycat, looks, seals, and leaves. 
Comes with a bag of food, not too big, and some cans.
For a week, I said before can not come so ration the cat everything you can.

Gatufo is saved, breathe and calm down, at least the cat will eat and good news.

In silence I go to the supermarket and trying to almost hide the products will looking at either side fearful that can steal me.

What can I do if that happens?

The fear among those who hope chewing enter the supermarket, speaking softly we do not want to unnerve the soldiers or police watching us with perverse face and guard the line.

We do not see anyone out, so will the other door, that way we do not know what they take.

It is assumed that as they pass
the first row supplies will ending up. Nobody can control stocks if they know how many people will go to buy them.

Prefer not to speculate in my head but it's inevitable. When under guard apocalyptic thoughts come to my mind and outline plans to cope with the disaster.

Gatufo is saved, breathe and calm down, at least the cat will eat and good news.

In silence I go to the supermarket and trying to almost hide the products will looking at either side fearing that they might rob me.

What I can do if that happens?

My friend is waiting outside, stuck to its website, is ahead when he sees me putting a face of great surprise.
Do not dare ask anything, but then I present to Gloria and little, I explain briefly what has them happened.

Then tells us to enter and open way home, we, Gloria and child are seen visibly tired.

Inside your house does sit Gloria and small, will take some refreshments and nibbles. Best if you have a few snacks, I tell him, are hungry.
When they are served, Juan puts a soft music and takes me to his bedroom.
Silently tells me what he knows listening to shortwave radio. 
He speaks English and French fluently and understands the talk stations overseas in half the world.

The situation is very bad in all places that I could access the radio. 
The disaster is general, and in the northern countries where forests were the tonic landscape there is almost no standing.
It's such chaos follows, by road or rail does not get anywhere. They communicate by air or boat, but they run out of fuel and do not know what to do.

If you want to clear roads end with no reservations and guaranteed to restore vital ways to deliver fuel from refineries. Nor that they can bring food from stores, harvesters can not collect anything or sow, everything is impracticable.


He continues telling what he has heard, and continues,  will gather experts worldwide in undisclosed location, their greatest fear is that the atmosphere is deteriorating and will come a time when you can not breathe.
They talk about sacrifice almost all live cattle consume too much oxygen as necessary for humans, and then we'll no meat, which is not a viable solution.
What to do then expect? and in the end it is all over ?. Neither does it seem right, but who decides what is feasible or not, not knowing if what is happening and what is the reason.

You'll hear for yourself, tell me, in the apparatus shortwave have prepared.

And with these two poor you brought, you're going to do ?.
I took them home, I can not leave again in the street, is greater than my conscience do such a thing.
I've already decided.

It uncle, whatever you say, but you get into a major conflict. Ya know that rationed food, and soon rationed many other things that we have no idea.

Okay, John, soon I'll see what I do, now come home with me.

Take the apparatus shortwave Protect them and wish you success.
Thanks John, you're a friend, I take care and I am out. 
I do not want to end up in your pantry, they are hungry.

Shortly after we left the house, Gloria and son washing consciousness have, have brushed their clothes and their faces are not so pale. The color returned to her cheeks.

A good step not headed toward home, we have an hour and a half away and do not want to worry more about my wife.

We have to take the child turns, the poor can no more and no way of if not reach on foot.

The small case where I have the radio goes practically welded to my hand. Do not let them take him away if not dragging me with him, I trust not.
I wish like never arrive and be next to Maria, and my cat, sure hope and with real anguish.

We walked, walked, without to stop. I go before pointing the way and try not to go too fast for Gloria when you bring your child up.
I'm surprised the strength she has when it comes to taking your child.
To my grieves me much, I guess that she has to Although much more, but not complaining, I'll have to almost start arms to replace the weight of poor kid.
From time to time we put on the floor and the child walks for a while without speaking. It says nothing, is silent no matter what.
 
Almost reaching my street witnessed a horrible thing. 
There is a group of people staring at the floor, police kept them away from what look like two rickety snowmen on the pavement. 

I Fixed better as we get closer and see with horror that two elderly espachurrados the ground. As discussed were thrown from one of the balconies holding hands, and there are like broken puppets, surrounded by bright red all over the place.

Do not look tell Gloria too late, she is disengaged and cover the face of her son .




Let Gloria, we must continue, and we need very little to get.

It's horrible, how can they have done ?.

Could not tell you, you have to be in the skin of one's life to know what you feel and despair removed you can have that person.
These elders should be very frightened, without resources, without hope, like others, and have chosen to stop suffering.
A jump, do not know if pain, and it's over in a flash, I can not comment and I appreciate the decision they have taken.

Come on, please, fast everything you're almost at my house. 
I took your son, I do not think I've seen anything and it's hard to understand it if has been there fallen, do not think the poor than it is already more traumatized.

We went into my website, and then open the door of the house, the voice of my wife greets me as he always does when I arrive. So he is right, that everything is as I left, and before seeing me going and reassuring.
I bring company, I say after hello, you'll now see a young girl and her child.

I think my wife and nothing surprises about me, presenting me with a strange and his son is not new person, but I think when you know who stays with us if that is going to miss him.

We went into the room, and presented to Maria, the child and his mother .
They greet, look, and Gloria apologizes for being in the house, tells him that I insisted to accompany me.
Gatufo, as he always does before strangers, gone.
They like them both, I notice immediately, they will not have problems when I start to tell my wife what happened to the girl and her son, her face is changing and a look of tenderness and compassion extends away from his face.
Of course you stay with us, we have room and if I had not done with his words the issue is settled and I tell them I apologize. I have to leave you because I'll put the radio that John has left me.
I go and leave you alone, the child is attached to his mother and says nothing, not even when Maria smiles and tells him to go to his side.

I can hardly tune in a station you hear well, so get it and there is a good sign, I remember my friend and thank him mentally.

 
They relay in English, American insurance are identified as Voice of America, and if, are they. On the Internet I have heard many times.
It is not a teaching class, give news, tremendous and discouraging news.
An announcer says that "everything is getting worse" because there are countries that have exhausted their resources and no one can help.
Mention regions of South Asia with hundreds of millions of people who have used all their reserves and where people are dying of hunger and thirst for tens of thousands.
Many other parts of the world are alike have exhausted their resources and there is hope that they can be helped.
Europe, US and other first world countries do not want to exhaust its aircraft fuel or send food that may require its citizens.

It has rained very little after the fall of billions of trees and it is feared that the water cycle is interrupted, experts say. If this happens can give by extinct in a short period of time.
 
The picture he paints these people can not be worse, I tell myself, no wonder they close communications because everything would rapidly deteriorate and people flee in panic Looking nobody knows that.
There would be riots, lynchings, murders, people ruthless trying to grab what they could.
Neither the Civil Guard, nor the army would contain the wave of
people to the brink of despair. 
 
I turn off the device shortwave after nearly an hour to hear this kind of news

are at home, I feel very tired, I lean back in the chair and my mind begins to wander the edge of sleep.
My eyes just closed, thoughts of what has been my life so far crowd in an instant.
I remember in my youth were always on the brink of nuclear disaster.
Russians and Americans were in possession of ballistic missiles, plenty of them, loaded with nuclear warheads capable of destroying the earth dozens of times.
The idea was and is terrifying though we can not imagine a mass suicide such for the human race.



It is not stated, it is not discussed, not reported, but the weapons are there.
Today they are not only two countries who are in possession of them . They are a dozen or more that is known, those who have the ultimate weapon, "The ring of power" we could call it that would destroy the planet several times.
Even today it is feared that the end of the world comes from the hand of man, a war devastating and end, is what has been written, has been fictionalized and even there have been countless movies about it.

I am accustomed, like all my generation, to live in a world threatened by nuclear energy in all its forms.
I never imagined achieve this, simply groves began to disappear without anyone knowing why.
And the end of the world as we know it may come from the same land we inhabit, tired of being assaulted, the poisoning of the water, its atmosphere by the irresponsible and predatory human action. 

If the situation was not hopeless would your moral.
There will be moral if everything is destroyed and man disappears from this suffering planet.

I wake up, that I'm thinking, I say.
¿ Your child has to do with what is happening right now ?.
Nothing, I think, and I return to relax without realizing that memories flood my head again.

I have some cold lying on the couch, I get up for something to linger over. The two women are chatting, seems to get along well I think, and I return to my memories.

Again awake, the reality sets in, am I asleep or just remembered another time ?.
Will we primers and rationing facing shortages coming ?.

Stop ramble, I say, get going now.

In the room my wife and Gloria are downcast and very quiet.
Hey, is something wrong? wonder.

He has stopped working television, no tune no chain, and are alarmed.

It's not good news, what is the point of the TV stops broadcasting ?.

It may be a technical or maintenance failure, I that, I do not understand anything about telecommunications.

Suddenly again no signal appears a known speaker and apologizes for the cut in emissions due to technical problems says.

His words relieve stress and as fools remain attentive to what is said.
