&=\=,,,,,, dog (who is ridicolously large and ,,,,,,=\=&

###&§=\=,, the shortwave radio, and transmit a bit ,,=\=§&###
###&§=\=,, myself, songs and poetry, and found ,,=\=§&###
#&====,,,, sounds from the forest. the others tell ,,,,====&#
###&§=\=,, of their lives, play the guitar for me, ,,=\=§&###
