My Business: No matter if on the Metro, bus, car, walking or flying. My business is none of your business and that is the Russian way. I shrug my shoulders and total understand that way of thinking. I guess that is why it is easy for me to survive in Russia; “My business is none […]

At one time, it seems decades ago now, the general thinking in the USA was that President Barack Obama would jolt the American political system into actually doing something beneficial for its citizens rather than spying on them, building F-35 aircraft, upgrading nuclear weapons, spending trillions of dollars (US) on national security, cutting unemployment benefits/food […]

G8 is a relic of a decrepit and descending group of countries, mainly made up of western powers. Canada, France Germany, Italy, Japan, Russia, United Kingdom and the United States. Out of these countries one does not fit and that is Russia. Why does Russia not fit? Lets look at the graphs below… Now these […]

Letnie Schi is one of my favorite soups in Russia. Russians have long been only using what is available in Russia. That means most of the foods are only what can be produced and bought locally. This soup is a perfect example of making something from what you have on hand at all times and […]

Time to let the NSA know for sure I am a balding, middle aged, white male, heavy set, bad attitude, grumpy, middle class and a home grown American Terrorist…… (Did I say the T word?)
