Voice one. A whisper.
"...Hi, did I awaken you? Oh, sorry... it's a different time here, i didn't mind... Happy New Year!.. and goback to sleep, sorry. ...well, no. It was a silent party, they all were so tired, and have already dropped away... OK, stay fit, remain in a good health... it's the most important... yeah... thanks, bye-bye..."

Voice two. Simple voice.

"...Well, so... I'm not going to say too much, but let's hope that everything goes even better in the New Year! With God's help"

Voice three. Well educated voice.

"...the world going weak. A perceptible weakening is occuring among people in positions of power, there through a trick of fortune or through the inertia of people, or maybe even there because of money... A sense of purpose,a volition, loyalty to ideals, these are not the dynamics of our civilization anymore. Instead global stress, informational nonsense, illiteracy, the invisible dissolution of people's spirituality... Millions are drowning in the Net. Sex, money, violence... It's not interesting at all.

Yet another event is rather curious.

Somehow the personal power of an individual has risen rather a lot... It's much easier to achieve a desired (but let's leave desires out of the focus of discussion and criticism). It means that the actions of any person - a healthy individual or an invalid - are less dependent on any social order. A higher spiritual potency is winning in every unchained human being. The long Anarchy is out there. And almost everything, or perhaps, everything, now depends on yourself only.

Voice four. A shouting voice.
"...Congratulations, friends!!! Keep everything that brings us beautiful astonishment, happiness, desire to change ourselves, to move ourselves. Keep it and give to others!!! We are humans! And we are not made so badly afterall... We'll clean ourselves! Go on! I say you MUST have happiness, health and success in the New Year 2004!!!..."

Voice five. A stutterer.

"...no, I'm at home... just wanted to stay alone... hear me... I was at the market yesterday, you know, that one... of second-hand things... saw a teddy-bear, the same type that I had when I was a child... well, look... not exactly the same... My teddy lost one of his eyes, and this one had both... you understand me? It's like time went backwards. This one was younger... and so I stood there and looked, and he calls me to go into the forest... no, I didn't buy him... Yeah... Alright, and to you too... bye..."

DEREVO weather

Novosibirsk. -32, a temperature of pelmeni unfreezing.

Rome. Tanya informs about +21, wet chirrup

Dublin. Chester informs us: -15. Karla corrects: it's the temperature outside.

Sydney. Adam Read says there is +32. ("... Wake up at 4am, very awake, what to do, turn on the metronome of course start to read and write, walk in the beautifull sun filled streets of Sydney, really is a beautifull city full of vibrant energy...")

Tel-Aviv. Dima Tyulpanov says: +21.

Oh, bother them…

Anton informs: Helsinki, Frankfurt, St.P, Moscow - it's getting dark early, maybe my eyes fail? Well, but the mercury column… it is a nice thing, very vertical. It was brought from India by englishmen in 1753, now treasured in the National Museum, but it not forget the Motherland, roaming the corridors with a guggle in the night.

Dresden. Lena informs: +Christmas. And clothing match well. A nose is red. But it's because of a Glühwein…
