"I don't need a little brother, I'm happy being the only child in the family."
"You don't fear that the newcomer would take all the attention away from you?"
"Let's see... This storeroom could be modified into a medicine and nursery room. If I tear that wall down..."Attachments: |

"My kid brother is already kicking wildly!"
"Can you even manage to wait three more months?"
"Oh yes, I can, but that little one there might be starting to smash up everything!"
"Tauno...!"Attachments: |

"Looks great!"
"Did I have a room just as fancy as this when I was a baby?"
"Why do you never remember anything from the only wonderful years in your life?"Minulla oli pienenä samanlainen teddykarhu, jonka kieli työntyi ulos.
Jag hade en likadan teddybjörn med en utstående tunga när jag var liten.
When I was a little boy, I had a similar teddybear with his tongue sticking out.Attachments: |

"I thought Topi and Anja had such difficulties in getting along with each other, that another child was an impossibility!"
"I'm not familiar with the situation, but maybe it's just an attempt to save their marriage from possibly breaking down?"
"Or maybe they try again, because I became such a failure?"Attachments: |
|
"Tauno, I have something important to tell you..."
"We're expecting an addition to the family... You'll get yourself a little brother!"
"Start getting used to the idea!"
"And I thought Mom was drowning her sorrows in food, because of problems in their marriage!"Attachments: |
|
"I hate my parents, when they're so decent and boring!"
"If they drank or were often away from home, I could watch X-rated movies on my TV almost anytime I'd like!"Attachments: |

"There's something good about school as well! Sometimes the things you read about there just happen to interest you!"
"And you get A's for your exams, huh?"
"Yeah, you would get too, if you were interested and would bother to read."
"My problem is that I read too much, and the wrong things at the wrong time!"Attachments: |

"It's not too hard to re-organize your life, Rauno."
"OK, so give me some advice."
"First you need an educational hobby..."
"Like your rock'n'roll record collecting?"
"Or books, getting acquainted with art, developing your cooking skills even further... The possibilities are endless!"
"Is it a deal, that you teach me to tolerate loud bands, and I teach you to boil water?"Toivottavasti ette pahastu että silloin tällöin puffaan mielilevyjäni... Joo, tiedän ettei Supertramp ole rääkybändi, mutta he ovat suosikkejani.
Hoppas ni inte har någonting emot att jag nu och då gör reklam för mina favoritskivor... Ja, jag vet att Supertramp inte är ett vilt rockband, men det är min favoritgrupp.
I hope you don't mind that I plug some of my favourite

"Hi, Tauno! What have you been doing lately?"
"The usual stuff... Playing games and thinking about things. Such a wonderful smell of food here, that I decided to drop by."
"Rauno is preparing a chicken and fruit stew. But don't you think you can come gatecrashing!"
"Oh no, just to have a conversation. Are you planning another hiking trip?"
"Sorry, no. Too much work awaiting."
"Yes, I know about Rauno. You'll block the front door again by nailing boards across it."Attachments: |

"Should I drag you to the Alcoholics Anonymous or something...?"
"Coffee..."
"With that lifestyle of yours you can very well stay unemployed. You wouldn't be able to hold any job."
"If you could at least drink while I'm at work, not when I have to sleep!"
"A good idea! I would be sleeping my intoxication away while you're home!"Attachments: |
|
"Well, well, Rauno finally staggers home."
"Once again I have to manage with little sleep, when I have to wait for you!"
"My drinking ish none of your bushinessh..."
"My boss will again ask me questions about why I look so tired!"
"Or maybe not... We shaw him on the shtreet and invited him inshide to take a few drinksh."Attachments: |

"Yet another newspaper article about terrorist attacks..."
"I've always thought that people do evil things because they feel distressed, and that's the result of something rotten in the world and lifestyles man has created for himself."
"People don't feel comfortable in the world they have created for themselves. The wheel of progress should be spinned back to its starting position, and started up again."Attachments: |

"Why are you going up on the roof?"
"Look at the TV set, and you'll see!"
"Rauno, try to control your behaviour!"Attachments: |

"What if all the other people are mere robots? What if I'm the only human being on Earth?"
"I've been told to be like all the others and adapt to a world I haven't helped creating..."
"But I would gladly spare half of it..."Attachments: |

"Bah! Computer games! Do they provide a civilized upbringing to children?!"
"Hm..."
"At least they tell a lot of truths about the modern world."Tauno pelaa joystickilla Commodore 64:lla ja käyttää kasettiasemaa - selitys tähän on että Aaltotie sijoittuu vuoteen 1988. Tähän ratkaisuun on useita syitä, mm. en halua kommentoida tämän päivän tapahtumia vaan elää menneisyydessä. Ehkä sarjasta tulee näin myös ajattomampi kun en pureudu ajankohtaisuuksiin. Ja Taunon vanhemmat tapasivat 70-luvun alussa, näin olen päättänyt ja siksi sijoitan sarjani 18 vuoden päähän tästä tapahtumasta uskottavuuden säilyttämiseksi.
Tauno använder en joystick och en Commodore 64 med kassettstation. Förklaringen till detta är att Aaltotie utspelas i år 1988. Jag har flera orsaker till det
