Football; Svetochka sent me this Tweet she found…

Remember I said that Russians are going crazy over football, no not just the guys, but it seems the women are going crazier… 😉

Gotta love it…

Two people critically ill after coming into contact with Novichok – ITV News

A couple who were left in a critical condition in Amesbury came into contact with the nerve agent Novichok, the country’s top counter-terrorism police officer has said.Speaking outside Scotland Yard, Neil Basu said it was a “line of inquiry” whether the Novichok which poisoned Charlie Rowley and Dawn Sturgess was from the same batch which was used in the “attempted murder” of Sergei and Yulia Skripal in Salisbury in March.

If at first we don’t succeed, try try again…

Will Trump have to cancel his meeting with Putin?

It is veracious: Mainstream media (MSM)

Putin has been found to have ties with Russia. In this startling discovery that is rocking the world, Putin has been uncovered as a Ex Russian KGB and is in cahoots with Russia on a daily basis… In fact, sometimes he has been known to even eat Russian food, drink Russian water and talks with Russia peasants… We live in a dangerous time, when even the president of Russia is cavorting with the Russians…

May God have mercy upon our souls…

A picture shared by a FIFA employee showed their spotless…

Russia and China stand in the way of USA Paramountcy…

The only factor between complete war on most of the planet and which is therefore the disposition that we have a tendency to find prevalent right now in the world, is Russia and China. For without some form of deterrence, no matter how weak & meek it may seem to some, we would find ourselves quagmired in a situation of epic death and destruction unequaled in human history…

What use to be drawn out, upon a field of honor. Forthwith that common man stood to the last, fighting for the king, or in the name of god, thus has become the surface of the whole planet. That field of honor to fight the battles of the brave and heroic is huge beyond even imagination…

Will we fight to the last man standing across the whole planet?

There is no honor in destroying the planet…

PS: I have held many a brave man crying in my arms, as they died themselves and or mourned those dying around them. The battlefield will instill the fear of God within your heart and soul. I myself have groveled and hoped God would have mercy upon me, as I tried to stymie the life blood flowing from my body….when you have seen how long it takes for a man to die, how long a man will struggle not to give up his life and then when you hear the last words of friend or foe….you will understand why I deplore war…

PSS: Russia and China should not let a day go by without telling the world how the US is supporting terrorists in Syria. Thus every meeting big or small, paramount or even of mediocrity with the USA, should start with the US support of terrorism around the world….truth and facts before games and lies…

Coffee time in Moscow… World Cup Mania…

Take it from me: I live here in Russia. I live in Russia from Moscow (One of the largest cities in the world.) to a Tiny Russian Village (One of the smallest still functioning in Russia.) I live everywhere in between in Russia and travel Russia by car, train and airplane. I see most everything except the deepest Siberia and I wanna do that to….plus go north as far as I can…

Russia is a wonderful country and so many of the guests that have come to see the World Cup are spouting wonderful things about Russia. The Russian people are having a blast and so are the travelers….it is really wonderful…

BUT: This is not going very well with the west and the western media and the hate has been poured on like oil from the top of a castle wall to repeal the invaders. We cannot have nice things said about Russia. Can we?

You got to see this video from Brazil, this is what makes me have hope for “Humans”… (below)

This is the most celebrated foot in Russia today… (below)

I have enjoyed the hate against Russia. For I know the truth and I even noticed McFaul (banned from Russia ex American Embassy puppet) has chimed in and is crying about being banned from Russia and where is Putin during the game and how terrible Russia is….bad bad McFaul your Twitter link is a mess of anti-Russian hate and lies….people even get all over you if you do not hate Russians enough. When you tell some truth about Russia they swarm you with hate. Do you see an issue? Probably not…

Oh well. Lets watch Russians…

It is a good day in Russia and I am glad to be here….and so are these gals…

Russians up all night Party Time: Football – Russia beat Spain…

Tale of the tale: Spain Red and Russia white….Spain lost…

I sat with Svetochka and watched the second half basically of this game. It was good and while many say Spain was the better team, I say Russia out played them and Russia won…

Excuses do not win games, heart and soul wins games…

Good job Russia…

It is Four O’clock a.m. and they (Russians) still partying all over the place…

Just wonderful TRV… (Photos Tiny Russian Village)

Not gonna say much today. Not much to say!

Wild strawberries are everywhere….

Svetochka and I are just glad that we have this tiny spot of heaven to go to and enjoy life…

Fields and fields and fields of wheat, peas, sunflowers and more & more & more…

Went to the Big Village yesterday to get some car supplies. Finally finished the Volga and she is in smooth running shape. We stopped to look at what was growing in the massive fields growing all along as we drove…

Kilometers of sweet peas on one side. Sweet peas as far as the eye could see and almost ready to harvest….Yellow peas, field peas, every pea imaginable…

Kilometers and kilometers of sunflowers and soybeans and wheat and wheat and more wheat. Oh and sugar beets from the sunrise to the sunset in fields so big that a single field surrounds a half dozen villages with just a tiny goat trail leading into access of the villages…

Yellow field peas…

These are fields that use to lay empty, when I first came to Russia. I asked many times, “Why all these fields laying empty and overgrown?” This was over ten years ago I asked these questions and Russia answered me…

This is a project that blossomed under Medvedev when he was president of Russia. It has put Russia back on the map as a powerhouse of agriculture around the world. I call this Russia’s greatest asset, her a fertile land and more land to grow things than anyone else on earth…

Russia has found her money maker and it is in GMO free foods…

I talk about the circle of life many times on this blog. The Tiny Russian Village is in a downturn point of that circle. Our Bishop Mathew was transferred to a higher spot and went to Rome. When he left the monastery in our village lost its drive and now it has started to go back to the wilderness. No one cares again and no one has funds and or able to garner funds to keep the flow going. It is sad…

But it gives you the idea of who amongst the Orthodox, who drove the resurrection of the monastery. It is like once he was gone, the interest stopped…

I hope that we get back to the upturn of that circle of life for the Tiny Russian Village…

I am filling the wells today. I am not sure what is happening and why it is happening, but the only two full time villagers seem to be at war. I guess they are bored and want to fight all the time. This effects all the people who spend summers at the village. No water and no one cares who lives here. In fact they have pissed off the local government responsible for our Tiny Russian Village and it seems the only person who can even or cares to fill the water is me. But I do not live here full time….everyone is mad at each other and that means nothing good will become of it…

Therefore, hardly anyone is in the village. Normally the village is bustling right now with people, but everyone knows there is no water and they just stay away. Our neighbor next door was trying to find water in the village and he begged us to help do something. So I did this morning…

Another example of that circle of life. I am dealing with different things right now and cannot concentrate on just the Tiny Russian Village and no one wants deal with what has to be done…

No one, who either lives here full time and or the local government who evidently has washed its hands of the situation…

But….when I am here, I will fill the water. I kinda like having water to scrub the dirt off me… 😉

Tomorrow I will post pictures of what is going on around the village. The lake is at its fullest ever. They have really worked on this lake near us and it is brimming with water and fish. Oh I just want to go fishing and swimming in the beautiful lake…

Gotta go….I need to shave. Make two or more trips to finish the wells and I need to do it before the demon horseflies come out in full force…. 🙂

Four O’clock a.m. and that coffee pot is going…

It is amazing that you can wake up and stretch a little bit, then try to tell yourself to go back to bed & a streaming cup of coffee comes to your mind. You roll over and ignore that cup of coffee image, but then, you seem to smell that coffee….then it is simply too late and coffee has invaded your soul and taken over your morning… 😉

Why not get up?

The birds are singing their tiny little hearts out. The mosquitoes are buzzing the screen of the window, frustrated that fresh blood is within sight. The sign of the sun is peeking from below the horizon. The aches and pains need to be worked out of the body and you just have too much to do today…

Of all reasons to get up; coffee just makes life better…

Yesterday, with sweet pea’s help, we replaced the outer tie rod end on the passenger side of Sammy the Volga. Svetochka got a first hand experience at a tie rod end that did not want to be retired, even if that end was falling apart. The pickle bar that I bought last week, did the job, but gave up the ghost and is junk now…

Ah, the Tiny Russian Village Time…

I shook and smacked on all the inner tie rods and found them all okay. But when I came to the passenger outer tie rod, it made a popping noise when I smacked it and complained that it was getting old and grouchy. So when grouch bear meets a grouch tie rod end? Grouchy bear replaces that end…

So I gathered my tools, my sweet pea helper and since Svetochka had bought an extra tie rod end, we were in business. But the pickle fork to pop the tie rod off, was almost not up to the task. The forks kept opening up and the tie rod end kept laughing at us…

Perseverance is the key to success….and sore arms, back, knees and cuts and scratches all-screaming at you the next day, remind you of perseverance and its end results, when tackling a car of vintage age…

Need a new pickle fork…
