Dr Murks is cleaning windows

The rain is washing the town every day for half an hour. Before and after the sun is shining intensely and drying everything, adding the smells of nutritions, growth, maturity... The view form the window of Dr Murks down to the Soup Town becomes fresher and greener every day, every moment.
Dr Murks is washing the window. Washing away the dirt and stupidity, the problems and anxieties. To get the clear view. To see the outer world as it is, not as it is constructed in Dr Murks' head.
Waving to the neighbors who are grilling sausages and meet in the garden and looking with a fear in their face how Dr Murks is leaning out from the high standing window to reach the last corners of the class.

Dr Murks is hunted by numbers

Many days already - 6401, six-four-zero-one, seis-cuatro-cero-uno, 6401, 6401... Coming to the dreams, jumping around on the streets, in the computer at work, in the grass in the parks, in the sand of the beach etc, etc. 6401, six-four-zero-one, seis-cuatro-cero-uno, 6401, 6401...
What numbers are those? Why do they not let go? Hunting and hunting, not letting go....
Finally Dr Murks opened the google and type "Dr Murks 6401". What to discover, what to remind and remember... It was the 7 years old combination of an old network Dr Murks used to belong. They want Dr Murks back! They want Dr Murks to start again!
And on Tuesday evening Dr Murks did. Dr Murks went to the meeting place, got familiar with the new innovated systems and did it. Did it again after 7 years!
Uh, it felt as a young elk had released to the nature again. Jumping over the small sods, enjoying the evening sun, the smell of fresh springy forest... Oh, what a wasted 7 years Dr Murks had spent without it! Never again!

Dr Murks is meeting people

Sometimes it seems that there are no more new people here in town to get acquaintance with. All the people are familiar. Every time to go somewhere Dr Murks has to take double time because there are always some people to stop and talk to on the way. Only bike helps - then Dr Murks can just wave, quickly pass and go on. Often Dr Murks has difficulties to be on time because just can not pass the nice people and say at least "Ahoi!"
Still, last weekends Dr Murks made some new discoveries.
Dr Murks is going to The Clean Estonia 2008 event with 6 others that Dr Murks newer seen, never heard before. Gathering rubbish from the bushes by the roads... Tons of it. Talking to these 6 and other cleaners. There are people, nice people from the town Dr murks did not have a clue.
People coming to talk on the streets. Just like being on a travel. Old homeless a-social man is coming and telling Dr Murks of his life: killed 2, robbed, spent 18 years in prison, learned about astronomy. Showing how the Earth has seasons with a cheap aftershave bottle that he for sure is using for drinking.
People coming to talk in a bar. Sunday evening in a bar. Dr Murks and The Sister as the only girls. A group of good friends asking to join, buying vine. Talking of their life, of their friendship, of...
New people, indeed. More, more, more people.

Dr Murks sees fathers and sons

Amazing, how many fathers and sons there are in town. Recently the concentration has gone extremely high. Walking on the town hall square, in the beach, on Jänese walking path, in the banks etc. Where are the mothers? According to one father: "She is making the last exams for her master degree". Maybe all of them? All mothers are studying in the library? According to other father: "She is at work. We are going to the market to by some foodstuff and then to the childrens' play group". Mothers are working, fathers are having the quality time with children.
On Sunday Dr Murks is going to the theater. The premiere of the play "Our father" About the relationships between fathers and sons... And Sveta is the video-queen!

Dr Murks has lost the reality

Listening a radio broadcast on surrealism. Seems like they are describing the weekend of Dr Murks. It started already on Friday morning when Dr Murks woke up because Dr Murks was crying in the dream. It really felt physical.. that there is not enough ear to breath and the tears were like falling from the eyes. But when finally awake the cheeks were dry. Brrrr! The dream was something similar to a film "Rwanda Hotel" that Dr Murks was watching already many weeks ago.. But the two days following have also been as in a dream, as doing everything in fume or in cotton wool. Hart to make a difference what has been real or made up in the backsides of Dr Murks mind.
For example a small accident with a bike - Dr Murks riding fast down the Vanemuise hill, a car from the parking place does not see it and turns on the way. Dr Murks almost can break but still hits the first part of the car, gets a hit to the ribs and loses a breath for a moment. When Dr Murks is coming out of the car the driver is starting complain about nothing - even not a scratch on the car and the mirror can be easily bended back. Soon there is also a woman from the street who is coming and accusing them both for not being careful enough. But the life is going on and Dr Murks can breath again and sends some displeased words toward the driver who is driving away already, looks that the bike is fine and rides on with a bit shaky legs. The reality is only in a bit hurting ribs...
