Windows to RussiaA survivor of six heart attacks and a brain tumor, a grumpy bear of a man, whom has declared Russia as his new and wonderful home. His wife is a true Russian Sweet Pea of a girl and she puts up with this bear of a guy and keeps him in line.
Thank God for my Sweet Pea and Russia.
Last time I was here my kids came. This time I got business done…

Big fireworks display downtown Yerevan… (video)
So a week in Armenia and now back home in Russia…
So nice to get home to my SweetPea…

That answers that and that is all she wrote…
It is called retirement for a reason and truthfully, I have so damn much stuff to do that I cannot just worry about your inability to comprehend simple truth and facts anymore. So many plebs are as useless as a screen door on a submarine…
Besides, it is time to finish all my books and write more. I have written a whole bunch of amazing if not stinking stuff and I desire to start selling that stuff to plebs. I am hoping that they are as dumb as I think they are and will buy my books…
Hmm…

Years back I was thinking…

Then lately…
The transformative event I have been waiting for has finally occurred, and my wish to share a cup of coffee with you and explore what Russia has to offer is fulfilled. I have arrived at a moment that declares, “My life has transformed, and what once was is now in the past!”
Since I do not have a desire to see Western based people destroy what I see as a beautiful world in the East. Not a perfect world, but full of beauty that somehow has been removed from the West. Removed both physically and mentally…
I do not want those in the West to think Russia is a safe haven and my wish is for 90% of Western people to stay put, hide, rot away and please stay away from the real world…
So I have decided to do one of the below…
1. Stop blogging completely?
2. Keep blogging like I am doing?
3. Write 3 or 4 long posts a month about Russia?
4. Write 3 or 4 long posts a month about tech work I do?
5. Write whatever I feel like and rename the blog?
6. Rebranding?

Ceasing to blog after two decades frequently signifies a transition from the original, personal web to the intricate digital environment we see today. This shift is influenced by the emergence of new platforms like TikTok and YouTube, the increasing presence of AI, the fatigue stemming from algorithmic demands, or simply changes in life circumstances such as family commitments and reduced online engagement. Although some perceive blogging as ‘dead’ due to an oversaturation of content, numerous trailblazers and emerging creators continue to thrive by embracing multimedia, prioritizing authentic expression, and incorporating AI. This indicates a transformation rather than a conclusion for meaningful online writing…
Numerous individuals who have moved away from conventional blogging are transitioning to alternative formats such as newsletters (like Substack), podcasts, or short-form videos, allowing them to express their voice in different ways. The fundamental urge to share, connect, and foster community persists, despite the significant evolution of platforms and methods over the past twenty years…

Why blog? Twenty years or more and yes, so many said you will fail and never keep going at blogging…

When I started my first blogging venture, my main goal was to earn money, and without a doubt, I did not achieve that…
Nevertheless, during that time, I gained many insights that later became valuable…
1. Solving problems.
2. Tackling challenges.
3. Management abilities.
4. Helping others.
5. Building world wide connections.
6. Broadened my personal skill set.
There are numerous lessons to learn from any blogging journey. Blogging is a growth tool…
Blogging is fundamentally centered on solving problems. Be they personal and or worldly…
I have acquired a wealth of knowledge that exceeds what I gained in both school and college. Even if all my monetization strategies were to fail, I would still persist and did persist with blogging. This is due to the fact that blogging has turned into an addiction—an addiction to finding solutions and passing information…
I can assure you that if you commit to blogging for a year or more, it will be almost impossible for you to step away from it. My step away is due to life changes and that Y in the road’s decision moments…
Blogging fosters personal development…
Blogging represents love of life, beauty and truth…
And trust me, if your aim is to tackle a problem, blogging will always be there for you…

So what is it?
4. Write 3 or 4 long posts a month about tech work I do?
Tech should be redefined in my case as being what ever I do with my hands and or mind. Such as my desire to start building an AI computer, the work I do on Sammy the Volga, my rebuilding fences and Russian Village Homes, and my escapades with Windows 11…
Still kinda thinking and you Western Plebes need to remember, ~~ “Russia is full of baby eating Orks!” ~~
So glad I moved to Russia…

I have decided that I have done enough massive blogging and I am looking at my options for what I have done since 2006 and almost 14,000 posts, 700 posts a year. (Though, I admit that it was a slow start and I thought 100 posts was a milestone.) Yes, that is 20 years of Windows to Russia and it has been a rough ride for the most part. Let’s look at what I am thinking next and then I will contemplate…
1. Stop blogging completely?
2. Keep blogging like I am doing?
3. Write 3 or 4 long posts a month about Russia?
4. Write 3 or 4 long posts a month about tech work I do?
5. Write whatever I feel like and rename the blog?
6. Rebranding?
This is actually about the gist of things. Now, the next post is what I am going to do…
🎄oh it is almost Christmas Time…

In both Europe and the USA, I have observed that the significant issues, often referred to as the ‘elephant in the room,’ are frequently overlooked and disregarded, much like the metaphorical ‘800-pound gorilla.’ I do not take pleasure in the inevitability that the existence of these pressing matters will eventually need to be recognized. The longer this acknowledgment is delayed, the more severe the consequences will be. Many individuals I encounter in the West may face an existential crisis, where the prospect of death appears to be a more feasible conclusion than they might comprehend. – kKEETON…

WASHINGTON, December 4. /TASS/. The Ukrainian leadership should have agreed to a settlement of the conflict earlier, as the current situation is now largely turning against them, US President Donald Trump told reporters at the White House.
“I said ‘You have no cards’,” the American president said, referring to his February meeting with Vladimir Zelensky at the White House. “That was the time to settle. I thought that would have been a much better time to settle… They have a lot of things against them right now,” he added.
At that February meeting, the US president warned Zelensky that Washington would withdraw its support if Kiev failed to pursue a settlement. The White House chief stressed at the time that Ukraine had no leverage in the conflict.
Talk about psychopaths realizing that screwed up and the Bear is pissed…
If the crazy EU does steal frozen Russian assets for a “reparations loan,” we may view it as a casus belli with all the relevant implications for Brussels & Co. Then, these funds may have to be returned, not in court but as real reparations paid in kind by Russia’s fallen foes. – Medvedev
