Boza and I walked early this morning and came upon a man with a dog that I will call a fluff ball and not much bigger than a basketball. He stopped and said, “You are American?” I have never seen this guy before and at first I did not recognize the English. I am so […]
I call our Volga, Sammy! She is a wonderful car and she gets us where we are always wanting to go. She is Russian made and I think she is the best car I have ever owned and I have owned a bunch of cars in my time. I was thinking today over a cup […]
I was doing some thinking this morning while sipping that wonderful cup of coffee today. Sveta and I had taken a walk 6 years ago and when we came around a corner and we stopped suddenly. We were amazed, For you see in front of us was this incredible building. We thought it was a […]
It looks like I am going to have to communicate with an English teaching school right around the corner. I went to my little store that I like next to the school and for the second time I have had to say something to several of the teachers standing outside smoking and chit chatting in […]

I had to smile today and then I had to laugh out loud as the paid western trolls attacked the news release of this article below. This has got to be the neatest thing I have seen lately, equal to Rodman running around North Korea and saying all is great and wonderful here! North Korea […]
