I want to get to the Tiny Russian Village…. But I think the other two in the family are happy just sleeping and goofing off. It is the life of Bear and his grouchiness within that life…
Sammy the Volga has decided that she wants me to do some work on her. I found a couple of heater hoses that I need to replace and today I will do just that. I have been working on the heat system and almost have it fixed. Sammy has heat and that is a blessing in Russia the land of winter…. Boza is not feeling that good, he is having doggy issues when going to the bathroom and we must watch that…. And last but not least, Svetochka is simply just enjoying life and riding her bike around the city. Now that is the most important thing! A happy Svetochka…
So this morning, at 1 a.m. Boza got me up. We ran outside. Then at 2 a.m. again we ran outside. I did his eyes early so that the stress of that would be taken off his back and now it is about 4 a.m. and he seems settled. Therefore, I am sipping coffee, writing a post and allowing Boza and Svetochka to sleep and dream happy dreams…. Besides it is now raining like crazy…
I have many all night escapades with Boza. He needs the attention and two days ago I put flea and tick drops on his back and I am paying for such an action right now…. But it has to be done to go to the Tiny Russian Village…

We had our two new tires installed on the back of our Volga. One of the tires that came off had a tube in it. Someone several years ago, decided to dislike something about us and flattened our tire, with a screwdriver through the sidewall. So the tube was not necessary to reinstall with the new tires…
The guys doing the work, stole our good tube. They stuffed a old and torn tube into the old tire and took our good tube. Jerks…. In America I would tear these guys a new asshole and some. But in Russia (since I am the guest in the country,) I have to keep it calm and I have learned that killing people is not always a good thing at home or abroad…
Thus, crying twisting necks over spilled milk, just is not worth it…

If people in the media cannot decide whether they are in the business of reporting news or manufacturing propaganda, it is all the more important that the public understand that difference, and choose their news sources accordingly. – Thomas Sowell

Yes there is a code of ethics and it really looks like no one follows this code in the Mainstream Media…. Seriously, “NO ONE!”

Journalism had a reputation in the old days and that reputation was worthy of upholding and honoring…
Journalism, like politicians have sold to the highest bidder and or sold out to the devil himself…
