06:42 Hrs. Wszyscy chca kochac do utraty tchu choc nie przyznaja sie - unosi sie w Polskim Radiu Toronto na fali 1320 AM. Na dworze pieknie & slonecznie. Cudowne blekitne niebo. Wszak chlodno. Tylko 5-stopniowo. Nakladam sloneczne okulary. Kilka ptakow podspiewuje dyskretnie. Zimna kierownica. Zakladam rekawiczki. W dzienniku: "Zadne krytyki i placze nas nie przekonaja, ze biale jest biale, a czarne jest czarne. Przepraszam, ze biale jest czarne, a czarne jest biale" - Prezydent Kaczynski. Swieto narodowe w Polsce. 3 maja 1791 roku Sejm uchwalil Konstytucje. Napiete stosunki pomiedzy Rosja i Estonia. NATO wspiera Estonie. Ruski motloch zachowuje sie przed ambasada Estonii, jak iranski motloch przed amerykanska w 1979 roku. Naukowcy udowodnili, ze kto je duzo to zyje krocej. ESSO, Canadian Tire, Petro-Canada biora za litr paliwa $1.06.1. Beaver $1.05.9.
06:51 Hrs. Parkuje samochod. Na parkingu duza ges prowadzi piec zoltych okraglych kurczaczkow, ktore wykluly sie kilka dni wczesniej. Ojciec gasior zabezpiecza tyly posykujac z cicha i wymachujac dlugim czerwonym jezyczkiem, gdy zblizam sie do majestatycznie maszerujacej gesiego gromadki.
