Well there is that at least…

MOSCOW, October 15. /TASS/. Cafes, restaurants and shops can continue working in Russia, abiding by the guidelines of the Russian consumer watchdog, if there is no sharp increases in rates of coronavirus infections, Russian Industry and Trade Minister Denis Manturov told TASS.”Yes, for now,” he responded to the question whether these businesses can keep working.”It is difficult to provide a specific answer to this question because each region has a different epidemiological situation and regional leaderships make decisions based on it. Speaking about service and trade businesses, the continuation of their work looks very realistic in case they comply with all the demands put forward by the Russian consumer watchdog if infections don’t start going up,” the minister added.Manturov noted that the government is working with Russian industries to use remote work for some employees if it does not affect their operation.Russia’s Retail Companies Association (ACORT) earlier said that the non-food businesses can jointly lose up to 6.08 trillion rubles ($78 billion) in 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Tiny Russian Village building a fence video…

Been very busy and trying to get a fence built. I have had to be creative to get it done. Limited funds and lots of scrounging for stuff to work with. Yet, it is almost done…

As the Russians say, “Fencing American style!”

King Corona upset my Sweetpea

Good coffee by the way!

A few days ago Svetochka had talked to a friend of hers from work. This gal was in an office next to her office and like Sveta they were working at home….Svetochka had decided to call her and find out what is happening?

King Corona is what happened…

School went back in session in Russia and this ladies daughter is a teacher in the Russian school system. First the teacher got King Corona from a student of hers. Then Svetochka’s friend got the virus from her daughter, who was at home sick. The friend, has been hospitalized with King Corona and I think the daughter was also…

They are both doing better, yet now the King Corona is running through the school that the daughter teaches at and that is the crux of the issues we are facing…

Many youth are running around carrying King Corona, yet they show no symptoms and the older adult contracts the virus due to even being in proximity of said student in a classroom…

I could tell that Svetochka was kinda upset and had somethings on her mind. King Corona has a tendency to sneak up on you. It looks like Sveta’s friend and daughter will be okay, yet they got bad enough to be hospitalized. The Russian healthcare is doing a great job with this virus. Let us just hope that the long term implications are not an issue…

Again it is starting to look like things are going to go south with King Corona. It was predicted and it is inevitable. I am not sure that having school go from virtual home sessions to actual physical in school sessions was a good idea….Maybe waiting until the vaccine was in full swing first?

I see the Russian Gov. has now started to rethink their decision of sending the kids back to school…

It is a viscous cycle and it is interesting being stuck in the Tiny Russian Village….Am I going to be here all winter? I have not hugged my Sweetpea in so long… 🙁

October 10th, 2006 I came to Russia…

Svetochka came to America and helped me cross the border of Russia: (14 years ago, for today is October 10th, 2020.) It is a very important anniversary for us personally. It was the start of the rest of our lives living together in Russia…

I was helped by Svetochka to escape from the USA. We had all my belongings in five suitcases, a tiny doggy named Sneaky the Binky and October 10th, 2006 started the beginning of the rest of my life…

I have come a long ways…

We can get better even when getting old…

Even if I would not wake tomorrow morning:

I would not fear my death….for these last years of my life have been the best of my whole life. Thank you Svetochka…

My decision to come to Russia has never wavered. It was the best thing I did for my life & that is not a small thing to say. Svetochka and Russia have given me many more years of life, for I was close to the bottom of the barrel in the USA…

I just hope that I have been able & will be able, to return the favors in some small part, back to Svetochka and Russia?

In Russia, I have been given a second chance at life and now am able to float the river of life on that barrel that was destined for my end…

That is why I love Russia!

Damn it all, the free comment system just went paid only…

ReplyBox a really good comment system, just went paid only….& No, I will not pay out hard earned money for a comment to be posted…

WordPress/ClassicPress comments that come stock, simply stink and are spam magnets. Discus has become and always was a very terrible controlled environment. And anything worth using always goes payment after a few years. Now I have to figure out what to do? Damn it all anyway. I have been happily using ReplyBox for years now and have been basically trouble free…

So as in the past, I again go in search of a comment system that no one can hack into my system with and allow people to leave a message. It is important, yet, unless people would decide to support WtR and pay for such things….I can’t afford to just shell out money monthly to be told 60% of the time I need to die, called a commie, insult my beautiful Sweetpea Svetochka, called stupid and or should be beheaded because of my thoughts…

Therefore, no comments again on WtR…

Here we go again!

The Big Dipper rotates counter clockwise…

There is no setting of the Big Dipper from my world. It just goes in a big circle around and around from this far north…

In my world I grew up in? My grandma told me that Indians (Native American) have a legend….that they say that the Big Dipper is made up of a bear (the bowl) and the stars of the handle are the three warriors trying to catch the bear…

In Russia it is called the большая медведица or the колесо обозрения (The great bear or the Ferris wheel)…

Around and around….gotta be a tired bear and three warriors trying to catch it. Though they never will…

No butter on my popcorn please: (Not good for you!)

Is the USA going to supply the butter for the worlds popcorn?

MOSCOW, October 8. /TASS/. The upcoming US presidential elections could be potentially be destabilizing for the country, while no one in the world needs more turbulence and uncertainty, Director of the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service Sergei Naryshkin told TASS Thursday.

“The risks you are mentioning do exist. It is not a secret,” he responded to a relevant question.

“We and the whole world in general do not need additional turbulence, no one needs domestic political instability [in the US], considering that the US is a nuclear power. Therefore, we will be hoping for the best,” the intelligence chief underlined.

According to Naryshkin, American experts point out that the losing side is highly likely to reject the election results and challenge them. This will, in turn, create more turmoil in society which is already highly agitated now.

“Speaking of our attitude towards these events, we naturally would like to see the US elections to be held fairly, transparently, smoothly and in accordance with all international standards so that the international community can agree with the election results,” he concluded.

The 2020 United States elections are scheduled for November 3. Nationwide, American citizens will go to the polls to elect 435 representatives to the House, 35 senators out of 100 to the Senate, and the President and Vice President of the United States. Incumbent Republican President Donald Trump and Democrat Joe Biden are vying for the highest office in the land. In addition, voters will head to the ballot boxes to decide on 13 US state and territorial governorships, and numerous other local elections will be held.

Israel vs Gaza: It’s not a conflict – it’s murder!

The Strip is 41 km (25 mi) long, from 6 to 12 km (3.7 to 7.5 mi) wide, and has a total area of 365 km 2 (141 sq mi). With around 2 million Palestinians on some 365 square kilometers, Gaza, if considered a top-level political unit, ranks as the 3rd most densely populated in the world. See more

This area is home to a population of 2 + million people…

Israel uses employments of modern assault planes and maritime vessels with which to bomb what is effectively a densely-crowded displaced person concentration prison camp, schools, homes, flats, mosques and ghettos. This “prison camp” has no naval force, no air defense, no big weapons, no big guns, no mechanized armor, no armed forces, Israelis sit on the hillsides to watch the murder – and Israel calls it a war!

Plain and simple: It’s not a conflict – it’s murder!

Paying that Electric bill, wear that mask!

While King Corona runs amok! Better have that mask…

King Corona Virus has taken over the sane world…

I had to go and pay the electric bills on our two Tiny Russian Village homes. Therefore, that meant a trip to the Big Village and interrelating with people everywhere. I swear King Corona was watching me as I traipsed around the Big Village. ~~

Total between them both around 5000 rubles for the last year of usage. That is total electric payment for actually a bit more (Kinda a bit late to get to the office to pay.) than a years usage and yes, I am not shy about using electricity. Space heaters, drilling wood, electric arc welder, cutting all kinds of things with a saw, boiling water in electric pot for coffee, oh and usage of lights at night are the norm….so on and so on…

5000 rubles is about $64…

The experience going to the electric office is interesting…

They checked my temperature four times, told me mask, mask, mask a hundred times, only one person at a time in a huge room to pay at and yes mask, mask, mask…

I had to start laughing when every time I moved, this guy kept putting the temperature device on the back of my hand…. I guess he was worried that in the last 10 minutes I contracted King Covid?

I also stared in amazement at the elaborate window system installed to try to communicate through and make a payment through. It did not seem very good against King Corona Virus, it was very unbecoming to conducting business and yet it would stop anything short of using an RPG (rocket-propelled grenade) to protect the cashier. The mafia & hooligans would never get to the cashier (much less trying to make a payment) and besides the guy checking the temperature four times would scare anyone to death…

As he continually yelled to the one person in the room, “Mask, Mask, Mask, Mask!”?

King Corona Virus has taken over the sane world…
