Year: 2017

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…

Good to be back in the Tiny Russian Village called…

Summer is a matter of perspective. If you have a winter where temperatures reach -30 to -40 several days in a row and the wind blows snow at 40 kilometers per hour during that time frame, you appreciate any form of summer that there is…

This year winter rolled straight into summer and like most years summer will roll straight into winter. It seems that there will be a few weeks of spring and fall, but they are weak and short. This is caused by the way the earth has such radical tilts close to the North Pole. We swing vast distances as seasons change and it leaves nothing between…

Just like at around 3 a.m. it is light outside and even at 10 p.m. we can see outside. The days will get longer yet, just as the days in winter get shorter and shorter, until you have no day at all literally…. The night becomes bright as summer goes along. There is always a north west sky lit up all night… Summer is truly the other extreme of winter here…

Therefore, even as Svetochka runs around with two sweaters, a coat and a stocking cap? It is summer and we are thankful…

I am a bear, so if it gets above +10 then I am warm enough with just a t-shirt and jeans…. Now you know how I survive -40 winters…

Today it will rain. Svetochka and Boza are snuggled in bed and I have been up for awhile. I just have a hard time sleeping when the sky is lit and by 4 a.m. it is full daylight out. So I get up early. But today is cloudy and the humidity is climbing outside. The weather station which has been functioning the whole time we were gone, is recording faithfully and we have lots of data this time. It shows us that it has been raining and raining and raining. Thus, the reason why our yard was a jungle… 😉

I need to get back out and cut more grass. I am using a scythe, the one the villagers made me, to cut our yard…

Scythe – made for me by the Tiny Russian Village People…

But Oh Boy! My right shoulder was talking to me last night, It said, “You Fool…”

Gotta go, before I say something to irritate everyone about Britain and or America. I be good, Boss!

Maybe tomorrow I be bad, Boss?
