My dad used to have his morning routine so well-established that he would wake up right before his alarm (which was only the local FM station at low volume) went off. I’m so jealous of that ability right now it’s not even funny.

And it is only going to get worse as the gap widens. If unification had occurred in the early 90's, things would have been weird, but not separated by an entire generation of technological progress.

My father had a cousin in the former GDR. One time he was allowed to visit the West because of a funeral. He seemed pretty paranoid during his visit and was completely amazed by an Italian restaurant.

It’s just your bogstandard power play.

Oh, yes. If there is even one shred of scenery left by the time the film is done, I will be most displeased.
