blessed is the one who had the lucky, once in mountain running in. 1200 meters below the earth’s surface, the Jammereien of all the desks, stressed-out employee and Manager perspective.

The floor is uneven, the term mountain is attached to rise. The closer the path of the plow or Shearer takes, the closer he is.
