Today I locked my bike at the train station Ampfing and on my way to the train I saw some election posters. One of the CSU party was clearly visible and two other posters were put face to face and dropped on the ground. Just a small piece of the poster was visible, but big enough to identify it as an election poster of the greens.
My first thoughts were, the CSU wanted to eliminate the competition by hiding their posters.
As I returned from my work in the evening, the posters were still in the face-to-face position and I was curious, if I was right. I turned one of the posters and it appeared to be another CSU poster with The local deputy with chancellor Merkel.

The 2nd poster belonged to the greens. So I finally could not decide, what happened here and placed all posters clearly visible.

Today we are switching over to 2013. Not all people on the world at the same time, but just nicely spread over 24 hours.
Fireworks seems to be required to get rid of the old year. In Sydney people spent a lot of money on that. If we would not spend that money, a lot of Chinese people would loose their jobs. They other way round: If all the money would support the poorest people in education and support job starters the common wealth would grow. It is up to you, whom to support. I take the 2nd option.
