Have a happy New Year from Svetochka, Boza and Kyle at Windows to Russia…

Maxwell Q. Klinger played by Jamie Farr was a well loved part of MASH, but Klinger has been grounded….no chance of getting out now, transgenders are welcomed with open arms in the USA military. 😉
Time to be who you want to be and get to crawl on the ground at shoot someone at the same time…
Yes I know that Klinger was just acting and really desired to just get out of the hell hole of war, but he will have to find another way out now….he is no longer unique… Now it is no longer acting to get out, it is soon to be, what “prom dress” do I get to wear to the front line? A girl has to look good you know?
I wonder if we will accept all (100+) genders? Will we allow all aspects that go hand in hand with these gender names? (and or) Will we pay for all gender reassessment or realignment of body parts, including mental adjustment and what-knots?
There is still a ways to go (but we are over half way to the bottom) before we slam head first unto the floor of the pit. Many years ago we threw ourselves off the edge and decided that the ride to the bottom was worth it. But one day that bottom will come and then paying the piper will become foremost important. Funny thing about leaping off a cliff and or into a big hole, it is like selling your soul to the devil!
I am going to have a cup of coffee and then go laugh until I cry…
Happy New Year America!

Again we are interfering in Iran and we wonder why they hate us…
The US State Department has issued a formal condemnation of the Iranian government following two days of economic protests centering in a handful of cities, calling the regime “a rogue state whose chief exports are violence, bloodshed, and chaos” while announcing support for protesters. It fits a familiar script which seems to roll out when anyone protests for any reason in a country considered an enemy of the United States (whether over economic grievances or full on calling for government overthrow).
Happy New Year from the instigator USA…

First tanker of Russian gas arrives in UK to keep Britons from freezing this winter — RT Business News
Russian tanker Christophe de Margerie has brought the first batch of liquefied natural gas (LNG) from Yamal to the United Kingdom. London had to urgently turn to Russian gas targeted by US sanctions due to supply outages.
A week ago…
Evil Russians are helping London folks not to freeze in winter. How evil are these “Roosskiy’s”? ~sarc~
Politics have no relation to morals. – (Niccolo Machiavelli); and it is morally right to help out the neighbors even if the neighbors have been a pain in the arse….
Besides Russia just wants to sell the Gaz…and politics does not get in the way for Russia…

A Summary of the $5.6 Trillion in Costs for the US Wars in Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan and Pakistan, and Post 9/11 Veterans Care and Homeland Security…
Seriously people, why we pay for healthcare in America, when we spend money like water flowing out of an open faucet over war?
What we could do for our people and our country if we had spent that money on education, healthcare and infrastructure…

Sometimes Sveta does things that makes no sense to me and yet they do make sense. Does that make sense?
Yesterday, Svetochka brought home four packs of Gingerbread Cookies….now understand that gingerbread cookies are the base for the pie crust of the pumpkin pies I make. But….a pack of gingerbread cookies will make three pies…
So since we do not eat the cookies for any reason other than pumpkin pies and the cookies are available everywhere. I have to shake my head and come to the conclusion that Sveta wants me to make twelve pumpkin pies in the future. Actually eleven, for one will be made very soon as in the present for New Years… 😉
The recipe that I use is this one below…
Yes, Svetochka has given me a big hint, that Pumpkin pies are on the New Year list of foods to make…
Love that girl, she is my sweetie!

Just some images of our life in Russia…
Svetochka has her camera back and is taking images constantly. She is now back to sneaking around and catching Boza and I and Moscow at doing their thing. She is a happy girl when her camera works and I would say that the best Christmas gift was to rebuild her Samsung Galaxy 4 Zoom…
No one is safe again from her camera… 😉
Boza knows when daddy cooks, good stuff too munch on is coming. For the holidays, I have rotisserie a Pheasant and a Cornish Game Hen. Boza and Svetochka gave their approval of these delicacies and Svetochka even got her Bear style Pumpkin Pie…
The big computer died…
We ran on our laptop for a week or so and then after I gathered up parts. Motherboard, CPU, RAM and other tidbits. I rebuilt the computer. Svetochka had to help me for the last several connections, I needed a navigator on the PDF manual for the last tiny front panel connections on the motherboard and we got it done, thanks to Sveta…
Yesterday, I finished the final check list on what I did and fired it up. I had my flash drive with Windows 7, 64bit and in a few minutes she came to life and in a few hours, ready for Svetochka to get back online with. Therefore, here I am today irritating the world with Russian stuff…
Better than new, the lifeline to the outside world….good or bad, however you want to see it…
Gotta walk the doggy…

I have just finished my twelfth Christmas in Russia…
I had Twelve Halloweens…
Twelve Thanksgivings…
Soon…
Twelve New Years…
Twelve Birthdays right after that…
Twelve Easters and so on and so on…
No not twelve days in Russia, not twelve weeks in Russia, not twelve months in Russia…
Going on twelve years in Russia….not quite twelve years officially, but I go by holidays, Svetochka tells me that I am wrong to look at it that way. I see her point from her world; Russians do not hardly acknowledge life events until they happen. But since I am American and getting old and grouchy…
I dance a jig as soon as I think of such things as time passages. Gotta dance while I still can… 😉
Looks like I will stay!

With the exception of western based companies like Globus and such, the florescent light bulb that is so horrendous, both for finances and health is dying in Russia. Even Moscow has accepted incandescent bulbs as a necessity. I am very happy to see that happen…. Russian made incandescent light bulbs, just 10 to 20 rubles each, compared to 200 or so rubles for a florescent light bulb to screw into your lamp socket…
That is Russia for you and I love that part of Russia…

“One belt – one Road” is a terrible turbulent nightmare for Washington DC in the US. The ongoing successful enactment of the “One Belt – One Road” will not only lead to strengthening the unitary accomplishment of Eurasia, but also will batten down a secure access route for the European, Russian and Chinese markets. Simply leaving the outside looking in at the massive Eurasian (5.2 + billion people) stand alone market. This “One Belt – One Road” market will have around 65% of the worlds population and have access to around 75% of the worlds energy sources; all alone all by themselves. This is a very good reason for insurgence in Afghanistan (again) by the USA, with Syria as a lost cause, bigger fish have surfaced and fear of loss of world power by the west is looming…. This situation is an important point in the world right now, controlling what is “jump starting” the economic and assimilation of the logistical integration of Eurasia into viability, or as the Western Empire would desire, simply kill it and sleep better at night…
I have talked about many times the wind changing direction and power flowing to the east…

Search link above for many articles on this subject…. it started years ago and is now climbing rapidly to the apogee…
This issue is above and part of all that is happening. Power is shifting, hate is flowing and the supremacy of the dollar is at stake. Europe is part of this change and underneath all that is happening, Europe wants to be part of that change. It is necessary for Europe’s survival and you need to be watching what is happening in the Eastern world…
I am thankful that Russia has finally decided that east is the direction to go…
You are and have been warned many times…
