Windows to Russia

Just walking along! Singing a song! Just you and me, as happy as can be…

You can’t help but walk a lot in the Tiny Russian Village and something else just can not be helped. Singing a song I call, “The Boza Song!”

Svetochka uses a little bell attached to her to let Boza know where she is, but since I do not want a Cow Bell attached to me! Moooooo 😉 I sing to Boza…

It is easy to sing, the Tiny Russian Village is so beautiful and perfect…

Boza’s left eye is pretty well history, but his right eye is being salvaged. Though he is basically blind in that eye also. Obvious that he is totally blind in the left, but the right is healthy, with the exception of hereditary retina destruction. The left will be operated on soon, the right will be, hopefully, cared for by drops of medicine to keep glaucoma at bay as long as possible…

Svetochka was walking yesterday and her and Boza found a critter to take pictures of. I had just warned her to watch out for snakes. I chased one out of the tall grass in our yard, as I mowed. My two partners in crime found this one as they walked the village roads. Snakes are probably the only thing I have found that scares a Russian. People almost panic all over when they see, find and or hear about a snake. You could put a gun against their head and they would just stare at you, but hold up a snake and they will run to beat the band…

I have said before, I am the snake grabber in the village…

Vipera berus, the common European adder… (Snake)

In what only took three years or so, they finally put guard fences at the top of the bell tower. With thousands of people, including kids many times, who went to the top. Nothing was there to keep a young-um and or old-um from taking a swan dive…

I also watched with apprehension when Father Pavel would go to the top in a snow storm and ring the bell. Wood floors get slick and I do not think that Father Pavel can fly if he slips off the top… 🙁

Other words, I am very glad to see safety rails installed (yes, on all four sides) to keep people from taking the short way to the ground…

Fly like a bird…. is for the birds, not humans…. Metaphorically speaking we can fly within our soul and fly with aids of technology…. but physically speaking we can’t flap our arms fast enough to keep from smacking the ground…. Ouch…

Have a nice day…

“As for those who deceive or try to deceive, I think that everyone sitting here, everyone has experienced attempts of being cheated. It happens that way, sometimes. (There are those who’ve) tried to deceive me as well, from time to time,” he said. “But even if I see it, I try not to make a fuss over it.” Putin added, “Even if I am confident that there was an attempt to deceive me, I will examine the motives, what the person wanted, why he wanted it, what he aimed to achieve, but I will not forget it,” said Putin…

It is official; America has become that weird person/family who lives in your neighborhood/world and they put pink flamingos in their yard, have a nigger baby in the garden, a Gnome enjoying life and paint their house bright lime green…. all the while sucking down wine coolers as they talk about, point their fingers and criticize everyone else around them…

Everyone wants them to go away, but they scare everyone at the same time, so no one says anything…

Lets (America) sanction Russia? Why?

Because, Russia supports the legit government of Syria!

I have to admit. North Korea (NK) is amazing. We are bombarded daily with how backwards, decrepit and pathetic the baby eating NK are, but we also are suppose to believe that a country with one light bulb per 100,000 persons and one computer system per 1,000,000 people is the hacking threat to the whole world and most likely the universe at large…

North Korea you are bringing the greatest country (USA) to her knees…

The U.S. Government refers to the malicious cyber activity by the North Korean government as HIDDEN COBRA.

And the strange thing about it all is that we seem to want to believe that NK is doing this and we do not care that we look like blathering cry babies and weak in our admissions that other countries can effect our country so much…

My how the mighty have fallen…

PS: America switches bad guys in our propaganda stories literally everyday…. We love our bad guys, because it makes us feel holier than thou…

I’m Tony Montana!

[to the guests at the restaurant] What you lookin’ at? You all a bunch of fuckin’ assholes. You know why? You don’t have the guts to be what you wanna be. You need people like me. You need people like me so you can point your fuckin’ fingers and say, “That’s the bad guy.” So… what that make you? Good? You’re not good. You just know how to hide, how to lie. Me, I don’t have that problem. Me, I always tell the truth. Even when I lie. So say good night to the bad guy! Come on. The last time you gonna see a bad guy like this again, let me tell you. Come on. Make way for the bad guy. There’s a bad guy comin’ through! Better get outta his way!

My favorite movie and Al Pacino was in his finest form in this version of that movie…. Al Pacino was Tony Montana…

Wonderful to be herein the Tiny Russian Village…

The main thing from the images above is that the village church has been finished inside and out. They have new steel siding to cover the old dilapidated building and the place is looking okay!

We may only have a couple of people living in the village, but we have a beautiful church and one of the most fantastic bell towers around…
