Windows to Russia

Be back later after I fix some windows, if possible. Buddy (Vova) came down and we had a look at the window situation. He says he has two one window and they are good. He says he has what it takes to fix them. I really only need one and then I have to get […]

I write less about what is happening in the world and more about the village, when I am in the village. I try to ignore the trashy main stream media and the death spiral of the western world and it is easy to succeed when life is as good as it is in the village, […]

Everyday in the village is something different. Like Tuesday is my Big Village day, Sunday is Market Day, and so on and so on. Well Saturday is fish day, because the ponds are full of delicious carp and everyone needs some extra drinking money for the weekend… 🙂 Last weekend I did not buy any, […]

After we get our power back on, my next post is about the new power transformer and power poles we are getting today. Our village is getting updated in the utility section and we are cheering the power company on. Three new poles and a whole new transformer area. Yippy… I am told that we […]

Physicist for War and Profit by John Stanton “Most Americans apply a yardstick to America’s actions which is very different than the yardstick they apply to Russia’s actions. Whenever their bias in favor of their own nation gets into conflict with the truth, the odds are that the bias will prevail. As a result of […]

Sometimes I carry a cup of coffee with me as Boza and I take our first walk of the day. It was 3:30 a.m. and the sun was just starting to peak over the horizon. The fog disliked the sun and ran away to hide and after awhile, it had hidden well enough to see […]

Every week I make a half day trip to the Big Village (Сараях) and I try to make that one trip. I have a standing order for four cases of dog food for Boza at the local pet store, I go to Magnet grocery store for me, stop at the pie kiosk for goodies to […]
