And winter came …

I have just come back from a little walk through a beautiful winter landscape and although I do not really like the cold (-20 at night, -10 during the day) I must admit I really enjoyed it. And not only because it proves global warming alarmists wrong. No, when I saw that the little pond outside of my village (Vogelteich) was frozen I was even thinking about going skating, I have not done that in years!
And now I am listening to the newest Enya CD “And winter came”. I am sitting in the warmth, the heating turned up, mere luxury, as natural gas prices have increased 30 percent this month. But the gas bill might soon be the least of my worries since Russia has cut gas supplies to Europe. In some Eastern European countries people are already running out of gas …
And who is to blame for Germany`s dependency on Russian gas? You-Know-Who.
