Paris transferred over 1.1 billion euros ($1.2 billion) to a Russian bank as compensation for terminating the deal to deliver two Mistral-class helicopter carriers to the Russian Navy… Glad that is done and if you remember correctly, I expressed dissatisfaction about the deal back in 2010. They are total junk and worthless for Russian needs… […]
I was gonna go to town, I was gonna rest and goof off, I was gonna cut the grass and I was gonna clear some more brush. Instead, I am gonna putty and paint the windows today. That is what I am gonna do… * * * * * * * * * * This […]
Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a decree starting on August 6, 2015 – the destruction of agricultural products prohibited from being imported into the country implemented in retaliation against illegal western sanctions!

This is borscht done my way and I call it “Bear’s Borscht,” I know a certain young lady named Sveta in Moscow, who is going to see this and start wishing she was here right now. The ingredients are all from our garden and I will eat this borscht without meat, maybe tomorrow (?), I […]

That is the office 7 month number and that puts them on a record pace for chopping heads off. Just like the ISIS does, except we do not give media coverage, or at a very very low level, if we cover the Saudi head chopping […]
On the last nail, the last stroke of the hammer, I smashed my finger really good. I let my mind wander to how wonderful it is to have the place; Boza proof and smash! I only said one bad word and then yelled a bunch of nice things as tears came to my eyes. I […]
Yesterday was strange, no one cut grass, no one hammered a nail, no one sawed wood and no one worked. Sveta said that Moscow was normal (If Moscow has a normal?), but here in the village, we goofed off. Therefore, our village did not burn to the ground and we are not in village hell. […]
A reader sent me this link to some artwork he just did. It is in response to Vova and his waving at America as a friend… The reader (Jim_D) said, “Thought I would reply in kind; except I didn’t have a rock, so I used a wooden wheelbarrow I made instead. Most of the artwork […]
I was told by Sveta that today is a day that I should not do any work. It is some important holiday in some form somewhere, that says if you work on this day, today 8-2-2015, that you will bring the wrath of God? and be hit by lightning and thunder. Then because you worked, […]
