Windows to Russia

Yes I know, Russia and snow go together like a horse and carriage. But it still is snowing and Boza and I are very happy. Boza is running around like a crazy nut and I walked him two hours this morning, just to watch the snow fall. The ground is still too warm, but it […]

Five a.m. my internal alarm went off. I sat up and even Boza was still sleeping soundly, thus I pushed him with my foot and he groaned and looked at me. I smiled, for as soon as I would say the word, “Walk?” He would be bouncing all over the place, since he knows me […]

Other publications (links provided below) have also been consulted. Vietnam 2.0 is in the making in Ukraine. The US civil-military […]

Having established a base on the Syrian coast, Vladimir Putin last week began air strikes on ISIS and other rebel forces seeking to overthrow Bashar Assad. A longtime ally of Syria, Russia wants to preserve its toehold on the Mediterranean, help Assad repel the threat, and keep the Islamic terrorists out of Damascus. Russia is […]

Three cans of paint is what I think will get it done. I have small rollers and a paint pan, thus, when I go to town tomorrow, I will get three cans of white enamel and get the south side done… Sveta told me that I had to cut the tails off the left window […]

Ran out of paint! The wood is just sucking it up like a sponge. Thus, when I go to town again, I will buy a couple more cans, that is 4 litres per can. That runs about 300 rubles per can… It is starting to look good though and when I get the back done, […]

I drink a lot of hot tea now and this morning I decided to try starting off with tea. Just a strong black tea with milk and while it was great, it just did not cure the morning blues, like a good cup of coffee. Tea to me is sweet tasting, whereas coffee has that […]
