Vova made a rabbit stew for my birthday and Svetochka gave me some perfect gifts and even Facebook people sent some greetings. Svetochka has given me a helpful break from walking Boza constantly and I enjoyed my birthday..
Having Sveta around makes any day perfect…
* * * * *
I felt privileged,
Vova only makes rabbit stew for very special occasions and my birthday was one of those occasions. Vova has a whole bunch of rabbits. They breed, eat and breed some more. He has to thin them and or else he would not have a home after awhile. He likes to keep rabbits at around 40 to 50 each. Thins them down to around eight in the early fall, made up of four breeding pairs. He sells them to people as income in the spring and summer. He would all winter and fall also, but no one can get up to the Tiny Russian Village…
So rabbits are a cash crop to Vova… Rabbits like to increase their numbers…

Svetochka and Boza are just happy as two peas in a pod…
I decided to sit back and watch America (The Land of Chaos,) and finish the soap opera that is running right now. This really is a historic moment…. In may ways, we are about to make or break the status of the USA in the worlds eyes. Well! Actually we have already destroyed our status as the good guy, but we have a chance to redeem ourselves in the mess we see. We could get at least try to get the OK guy status back….
You know? The status that says we will not try to change your government and destroy your country status…
I voted for Trump! It was a simple vote. I voted for Trump in the hopes that all the HELL America has been spreading against the world, would be turning inward on to itself, as it eats its own leg off…
Sorry people in America, but we all are tuned in and watching our favorite soap opera…
As Chaos and Coup Turn…
{I have reached a point of not caring anymore! Just leave the rest of the world alone America, and chew your own leg off at the knee!}
All I will say is this; It was a rough walk and if this had been two years ago. I would not have been able to do it. I have healed that much and other than sweating like a stuck pig, in 10 below zero weather. I did fine and my Sweetpea Svetochka, followed in my path and enjoyed life tremendously! (No, she actually had fun!)
The best way to describe the landscape that we crossed?
It was a rolling sea of snow! (And we were not on the shoreline!)
The is the thing about Russians; The harder life gets? The more fun they have, with what they got! It is hard to deal “bad cards” to a Russian…
Thus Svetochka is in the Tiny Russian Village and taking pictures as she always does…
At Sveta’s Mom’s…
Sveta and Boza went walking…
Yes, we have snow…
I put the image of the chickadee at Sveta’s mother’s home for a reason. From Huge Moscow City to Tiny Russian Village; the little birdbrains are watching you…
* * * * *
I am going to tell you something, “Russian women are tough, beautiful and intelligent!”
I know, I have one who keeps an eye on me and she is a wonderful sweet girl…
It snowed all night and drifted something terrible. You would swear we are in the Arctic at times. Today is a bad time for that though…. Svetochka comes tonight and our roads are closed off again, after just one day of reprieve…
Boza and I walked twice this morning…
The Snow has drifted a meter deep on much of the road leading out of the village. It is not even a smooth layer. It is deep strips of snow across the road from edge to edge. They are peaked at over a meter tall and even my tall boots are too short. I will have to walk to the river and check things out when it gets daylight, but it looks grim to get Svetochka tonight. I will have to walk all the way to the main highway. For nobody is going to get down this road of ours…
I already shoveled the paths in our yard and they filled in again. Not happy about what I am seeing, but, I will get Svetochka to our Tiny Russian Village home and safe and sound. I will take the snow shovel with me on a walk and cut the worst of the issues I find as I go along…
Hope I do not have to dig my way for three kilometers?
* * * * *
I have to say something:
The American Presidential Inauguration is going to be interesting. It looks as though there could be trouble. Sad! But true…. It is what I talked about in several posts this last month or so. The USA is under an actual “Coup” and it will get much worse before it gets better. Very possible at this point, Civil unrest bad!
The difference in people is very clear now. When Obama was elected and half the country despised him. You did not see what is happening now, happen. Difference in people! Obama was elected and we took our lumps and grumbled and groaned, but we did not go out to destroy the country. Love for America is to great. Then you have the other side and find love for country is secondary to all other aspects… The Me-Me generation and that goes back at least two full generations…
Too be fair; we all go through this stage, but technology has created a Frankenstein Effect upon our kids and with that comes the elders who are trying to stage this coup. This is exactly what has been done to many other countries and now it is being done to America… (Good luck, just see the results in Iraq, Libya, Syria and many many more!)
I do not think that the liberal agenda will go down without taking the country with it. They feel privileged in their views and when Hollywood, the government and a bunch of rich sick old men are pushing such an agenda…
We got nowhere to go but to the bottom of the barrel…
America is a very divided country and it most likely will take serious blood shed to sort it out. Hope I am wrong. But I voted for Trump because of this very situation that is happening. For far to long, things have been terribly rotten in America…
Either it gets straightened out, or millions better leave, the ones like me, to find a better home to flourish in. I found Russia and found the old days again. Far from perfect, but safe, free and a happy place to live…
* * * * *
Gotta get ready for Svetochka and walk the doggy again…
The Tiny Russian Village is deep in snow. Boza and I walk about six times a day for exercise and when I work on the computer, Boza sleeps…. Vova’s Niva has been pulled out of the lake and is waiting for him to walk to it to get it…
Boza is doing good and has adapted well to blindness. He has not lost his zeal for life and that was my biggest worry. he just charges head on anyway and that is good. Can’t let a little thing like going blind make a difference in living life…
I have said many times, “Boza keeps teaching me about life and how wonderful it is, no matter what comes up to bite you!”
I use to think that America was divided at about 70% liberalized and 20% conservative and around 10% just lost in the ozone. I realize that the spread is about 40% liberalized and 40% conservatives and 20% in the ozone of life crowd forever to be…
I was wrong at the split and for the last few days I have been thinking about how I missed the ration by so much. I do apologize, for I felt it was a lost cause. I still think it is lost, I can see that I was far from alone…
Silence may be Golden, but it also condones actions of others. The act of taking it and bearing with the crap is actually sometimes good and sometimes bad. You have to weigh and measure the opponent and adjust accordingly. Silence in the case with liberals is a very wrong thing to do…
If you look at what is happening and see that America is much more divided than even I thought. To be honest; I thought with the exception of just a small percent. America was a loony bin of liberal haven…
Don’t get me wrong, it is a liberal haven. I just did not realize that we still have a lot of people in America that have kept their mouth shut…
Big mistake…
The sides are out in the open now and we have Trump to thank for that. It took someone with a disdain against political correctness and other silly crap such as that to enable the conservative side to start expressing itself…
Opens a whole world of hurt, it does!
I see that half the country of the US has realized that a liberal mindset has taken over our news, schools, politics and literally everything that can push their agenda onto the rest of us…
Once again; You can not put your head in the sand and expect it all to blow over! Your ass is exposed, when you do that… Think about that statement a second and let your mind image, how stupid that is…
* * * * *
I grew up with school teachers. My parents were a mixed mess. My dad was a conservative who had to accept liberal ideas or get fired and my mother was a liberal who embraced such games as a perfect life…
I grew up watching the spread of liberalism within our school system. The problem is not liberalism, but the issue is that liberals will use anything and everything to support their agenda. They also are very sheepish and will follow blindly those that take the reins. They also are very vocal and very very emotional. Emotional to the point of psychotropic in their actions many times…
We all realize now that this mindset has infiltrated Hollywood, politics, our justice system and our everyday life. Through this infiltration we have lost much freedom, liberty and justice for all…
* * * * *
Can it change?
Yes it can, but we must get our heads out of the sand and look around us. Liberalism is not all bad and conservatism is not all good. Therefore, if we can find that happy medium, then we will flourish again. But as in every but, the sides have been drawn and division is on full steam ahead. A division that could destroy America and that my friend is what the plan is. A divided country is a easily controlled country…
I guess if I have to sway one way of the other, conservatism is the way I must land. I prefer a balance, but this last election has made it clear, liberalism has become a disease, a virus destroying the traditions of our American life…
I knew that when I saw these last few years the attack upon something as simple as the Confederate Flag in America, that the agenda was being shoved down our throats and if we accept such issues as normal, then we truly have lost and become sheepish ourselves…
We can change and get back a balance, but we must meet the issue head on now! Not tomorrow or the next day, but NOW!
I am tired of seeing movies, TV shows, award programs and many other media expressions, being used to promote an agenda that does not lay anything, but on a one way street. Our way or the highway is a very real liberal mindset and this last presidential election showed that…
It can change!
* * * * *
Russia is very conservative…
And I realize that is why I meld so well into its society. I am comfortable in Russia, whereas in America, I found myself an outsider with no support from other conservatives. I was arrested for my beliefs and silence was golden to those who should have stood with me…
I believe in small government, handshakes, traditional values, free enterprise, private business and people being let to be people…
But, I do like change, if change is for the better and I do like to grow and develop, in all aspects of my life. That means we allow people to be who they are and we allow businesses to flourish even the bad ones and even when bad things happen…
Russia is as I have said before. Just like America was many years ago and I love to see entrepreneurs trying to make it. The entrepreneurs that screw up, are run out of town quickly…
I am a believer in Lemonade Stands and the freedom to open one up anywhere I chose. then if I pick the wrong spot, you are free to tell me that very thing. But nether of us should be stifled in those thinking’s and thoughts and both of us should be civil about things…
Never should governments interfere in our processes…. Society will regulate me and you…
Yes I know! So many could not fathom life without a governmental service. A government to tell us when to be good and when to be bad. We want to be told that raw milk is bad, we want to be told who to vote for, we want to be told to put on a seat belt, etc etc etc…
If you do not want all that?
Then why are we silent about our rights, freedoms and liberty being destroyed by others, within our midst…
I see no solution to the issue at hand…. I am going to walk the dog and enjoy life. For life is…
“We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be.”
― Kurt Vonnegut
Humans on our planet earth are the greatest actors there are. No other creature on earth has a problem with letting life be what life is. But we pretend that we are something we are not and thus, we have become what we dread the most…
This morning I will attempt to get to the Big Village…
I will walk Boza a couple of times and then after it gets light of day, I will walk out of the Tiny Russian Village and get to the Big Village. This is what is called an excursion by Russians. they look at such trips as more than necessary. They look at them as fun and a way of life…
The bitter cold missed us and I am going to take advantage of the good weather. Yes, -16 Celsius (no wind also) is good and perfect walking weather. I was going to walk to another village, but Svetochka implied that I would be better walking to the main highway and taking a bus or taxi. I grumbled and mumbled, but she is right and the choices of food / supplies are better in the Big Village…
Svetochka is coming Friday night to visit and I want to have some goodies for her to eat…
Therefore, it is time for an excursion today… 😉
I will take the camera and add a few pictures later to this post…
Update:
Across the lake
Our river called Para…
Oh my! TRV is far away
24x zoom same spot
I had a blast, but I was worn out. Made a new friend and got to see my friends in the Big Village at all the stores. The snow was waist high in several spots, but….I trudged through and got to the main highway. At the highway, I had Svetochka call for a taxi and they picked me up. Actually taxi would be incorrect, how about, just say someone we know who will pick you up for some money. Next time I will take a bus though…
The snow across the wheat fields is over a meter deep. Flat and endless. I was lucky that I had a recent plowed road to walk on and the snow was much less there. I hope that they plow again this week. That will make it much easier to get Svetochka when she comes Friday…
Vova has buried his Niva in the middle of a drained lake??? I have not asked, “Why?” and he is trying to ignore that fact of what he did. His friends in the Fish Village will get a tractor out as soon as they can…
Only Bears like me can stomp their way out! 😉
But, “Oh Boy!” I hurt… (See below)
* * * * *
Just last night I finally passed a kidney stone.
Once again, it is the worst thing that I have ever gone through. Maybe a woman and childbirth is worse? But since I am a guy, I cannot compare. Though, I can compare to broken bones, being shot, stabbed and many other wonderful issues of war time fun and normal life as a big bear. The kidney stone issue is the worst…
The only thing that helps is to drink vinegar water. I make a cup of hot tea and pour some vinegar in it, tastes terrible, but it does work and if it does not really work, then who cares? It works for me and that is what counts…
So today I am sore from the battle of the stone, but, I feel a whole bunch better…

“When you’re born you get a ticket to the freak show. When you’re born in America, you get a front row seat.” – George Carlin
You Know?
George Carlin had wisdom. A bit crass at times, but wisdom and he spoke the truth!
Russians are crazy people, but crazy as a Russian is much different than a crazy American. I decided there is sane crazy and there is insane crazy…
Carlin’s quote above tells of both sides of the coin that I am implying…
Russians know they are born into this freak show and they meld with that show and life shows it, in Russia. The Americans have that perfect, wonderful and desired front row seat. But they do not realize that they have the best seat in the house…
There is too much propaganda and politics of control. 24 hours a day in America you are twisted this way and that way. You never, with the exception of just a few people, get to enjoy that freak show…
The sad thing is that we Americans have become the Freak Show!
Time to enjoy the show and not be the main attraction…
I decided it is time to learn all I can about Linux…
I have switched before from Windows and after this last week and being attacked with some real bad stuff. It is time to change from the disease ridden Windows OS’s…
I have settled on Puppy Linux and the version based on Slaxware…
So far so good!
I boot from a flash drive and use the old hard drive as storage for the Linux. I have two external drives that I use as back up and after a few days of usage. I am going to settle with Linux only. Not really a choice; Windows just has too many vulnerabilities and after these last few days, I see phone home issues are gone…
Therefore, I will now put my efforts into studying Linux and how to make it work to what I want to do. It is much safer and after the learning curve is established, I am finding out it has come a long ways. In fact, so far, nothing is amiss that allows me to do everything I use to do on Windows. Just a new learning process to get around the lack of user eye-candy for ease of use…
Puppy Linux is about 200 mgs and is extremely complete in its abilities right out of the box. I have already used Puppy for emergencies and now as it has become the main system; it is actually better than Windows…
Here is what happened…
I received an email. An official email from the State Department of the USA…. This is nothing new to me. I get threatened by them all the time, for various issues and things I say and do on Windows to Russia. This was no different than any other email from Washington D.C…
When I opened the file, I found the usual blah blah about how I am treading on thin ice with my fake news crap! I am use to this and did not think anything about it. But this email had an attachment that was a word file. It was a innocent looking file and I opened it as per normal. That was a mistake…
Thus learn from my mistakes and watch your back. I am set up to survive such attacks, but in the past I have been severely compromised and it was caused by my laziness. Windows to Russia has lost about a thousand posts to attacks from the US government and many thousands of images have been intentionally erased from my server in the past…
As of right now today! I have 5541 posts on WtR and I post almost everyday. If that does not tell you that I am serious about what I feel and think about life, then I guess I cannot help you in anyway…
I use to years ago, use servers located in the USA jurisdiction (HostGator, GoDaddy, Blogger and many more) and that my friend is an open door to them doing what they please. Since I am not located in the USA as per living, I have been used as an experiment and testing ground for things to come. From Ukraine to the American mainland; they have abused me tremendously. Even India allowed America to infiltrate the server I used their. When you start a site, do your homework, find out where the servers that you are based on, actually reside. Most reside in the North American Continent and the cheap ones all reside there…
