Windows to Russia

Kinda simple right now… Boza and I are just trying to stay warm and tomorrow it will start warming up to around -5 for a couple of days. Maybe I will get enough energy to take some images of the countryside? Right now we just walk to the edge of the Tiny Russian Village andContinue reading Just hunkered down in the Tiny Russian Village…

2:30 a.m. and Boza wanted to go outside… I mumbled at him that it is cold…. And he sat in the middle of the floor and tried to stare at me. He was off a little in his line of sight and those blind eyes made me sad. I sat up and mumbled some moreContinue reading Okay, it is officially cold in the Tiny Russian Village…

Boza and I woke at 4 a.m. and found the world had gotten even colder than it was when we went to bed. It looks to be dropping even more and the air is seriously crisp this morning.

I have a tendency to not be able to sleep again. So I must wear myselfContinue reading Woke at 2 a.m. and found it was +22 inside and -22 outside… TRV

Here in most of the civilized world, it does seem to me that includes even North Korea at this point, America looks like a 3rd world loony bin and is on the verge of psychotic indulgences of extremes…. From screaming pussies, shouting racists haters, pouting gay lovers, the I like to hate anything type individualContinue reading Just shake my head in disbelief at what I see…

Long ago in a galaxy far far away! I use to be part of the original insider program for Microsoft Windows. I started with Windows 98 and ended when Vista rolled out. I ran out of time and grew to dislike the way Microsoft was redirecting itself; Windows 10 was dreamed of many years ago…Continue reading Snowing, Cold, Windy and I have been Vistaing…

Enough donations have been received to allow us to buy a 4×4. I want to thank everyone who has donated and this post is to than all who donated for a vehicle. Not a fancy one, but a workhorse that will allow us to get out of the Tiny Russian Village in emergencies and stuff….Continue reading Svetochka in Moscow, Boza up at 2:30 a.m. and I sipping coffee…
