Strike

We are now having a hard time finding diesel for our car, and the ATM machine in town is out of money (armored car service on strike, apparently). At least is obliges us to bike to work! I don't really understand what all the noise is about. There must be something else at work besides moving the retirement age to 62, because that really does not sound so bad!
