¨.~;%£#### players. pen and paper, books, cameras, ####£%;~.¨
¨.~;%£#### mirrors, prisms, and various things to ####£%;~.¨

¨.~;%£#### i have friends - there's a cat, and a ####£%;~.¨
¨¨.~~~;%£# dog (who is ridicolously large and #£%;~~~.¨¨
¨..~~%%### wants to be the big spoon). i listen to ###%%~~..¨
¨¨¨.;;;%£# 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, #%%%;;;~.¨
¨.~;£##### and tell tales of the old world. i #####£;~.¨
