Well it is good to know that we are being monitored for radioactivity.
I hope that it shall become a normal thing the sight of the local community geigercounter team made up of well mobilised elderly folk perhaps having a laugh and exchanging kind but stern words of wisdom to the youngsters all having babies of course and feeding them properly.
The link is for you my friends probably inscrutable, it´s estonian an ugraic tongue of North Eastern Europe. Lvoely place Estonia did the eurovision there, lots of blonde hair and unemployment and immigration and stuff lots of stuff and a Radio Liberty copyright website on the friendly relations with the rest of us sort of vibe, hmmm, Radio Liberty and the Stasi and the bad bad bad old days when activists were sprayed with radioactive material, but sure some of the technology was repackaged by a Nordic telecomunucations company and led to the vibrating alert revolution in handset communications the bad bad Stasi had carried geiger counters with vibrating alert in their pockets, they were the bad BAD BAD BAD BAAAAAAA-BAAAAAA sheppish days before the present crises of course.
