A 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.
Went for the serious start of spots rusting first…
Found too many spots…
Poor wing on top is just in bad shape…
Poor Sammy getting old…
But she is still a pretty girl and she loves the Tiny Russian Village….all done for now!
I mixed paint myself from blue, green and black and came pretty darn close to the color. A little bit of this and that and finally reached the happy color level. It works, for Sammy is a country girl and things like this give her more character…
I used a dremel tool and ground out the rust. A dremel is a fantastic tool. Then cleaned well and body puttied the spots. Then sanded the best I could by hand and after cleaning it again, used my magic mix of paint and touched Sammy up. I found three more spots to do next week, I have enough horsefly bites for this week…
Sammy is going on 22 years old and still looks good….and runs good…
Then here are images of some extra stuff that has been going on…
Had to rebuild stairs on back of home…
All painted and waiting second coat of paint…
painted my table I built…
Vova came by to say hi. I guess he is dreaming of going to a beach somewhere?
Then my sweetpea sent me a picture. I guess she has become a rabbit while I left?
The grouchy American Bear at TRV…
Vova is just about ready to turn 70 years old, Sweetpea seems to be turning into a rabbit and me well I am just a grouchy bear fixing everything I can in our Tiny Russian Village homes. Just like I need to mow today? Maybe?? and well maybe Big Village first then mow?
Mowing will make anyone grouchy…
Thought maybe you would like to see the criminals behind the Tiny Russian Village escapades…
I was waiting for this to happen. Russia has decided to get rid of politicians with dual passports. This is a good thing when you are dealing with the government of any country. Dual citizenship is a contradiction to the job…
450 members in the Duma. 39 are being said to have dual citizenship. Time to either get rid of them and or they chose which citizenship they so desire….get it done Russia…
So for your information and mine…
The State Duma will check a number of deputies for the possible presence of foreign citizenship
Chairman of the State Duma Viacheslav Volodin today instructed Piskarev’s committee (for security and combating corruption) and the Arshba commission (for monitoring the reliability of income) to request information from the Central Election Commission about the possible presence of dual citizenship from a number of State Duma deputies.
Where did the topic come from: The deputy from the Communist Party of the Russian Federation Denis Parfyonov made such a request.
“… the appeal of the deputy Denis Parfenov is a serious accusation, this information must be checked. And if the information is confirmed, take the measures provided by law. If the information is not confirmed, the question will arise already to those who disseminate false information. Such accusations must not be allowed to be presented unreasonably, ”Volodin said.
Спикер Государственной думы России Вячеслав Володин поручил главе комитета по безопасности и противодействию коррупции Василию Пискареву и главе комиссии по контролю за достоверностью доходов депутатов Отари Аршбе запросить у Центризбиркома информацию о возможном наличии двойного гражданства у ряда депутатов ГД. Об этом заявила советница спикера Анастасия Кашеварова.По ее словам, поводом для проведения такой проверки стала «просьба» депутата от КПРФ Дениса Парфенова. Однако, к кому именно с такой «просьбой» обратился коммунист, Кашеварова не уточнила.Сам Денис Парфенов рассказал Znak.com, что еще в конце июня получил от главы фракции «Единая Россия» в Госдуме Сергея Неверова запрос. В нем Неверов просил пояснить, что имел в виду Парфенов, заявляя в апреле 2020 года о возможном наличии у 39 единороссов двойного гражданства. «Ну, раз сама „Единая Россия“ меня просит, то я сделал запрос в администрацию президента, в другие структуры, в том числе и комиссию по этике, направил запрос и самому Вячеславу Володину около недели назад», — пояснил Парфенов. Пока ни на один из запросов коммунист ответ не получил.
Speaker of the State Duma of Russia Vyacheslav Volodin instructed the head of the Committee on Security and Anti-Corruption Vasily Piskarev and the head of the Commission for Monitoring the Reliability of Incomes of Deputies, Otari Arshbe, to request information from the Central Election Commission about the possible presence of dual citizenship from a number of State Duma deputies. Speaker’s advisor Anastasia Kashevarova stated this .
According to her, the reason for such a check was the “request” of the Communist Party deputy Denis Parfenov. However, Kashevarova did not specify to whom exactly this “request” was addressed by the communist.
Denis Parfenov himself told Znak.com that at the end of June he received a request from the head of the United Russia faction in the State Duma Sergei Neverov. In it, Neverov asked to clarify what Parfenov meant when he announced in April 2020 that 39 United Russia members might have dual citizenship. “Well, since United Russia itself asks me, I made a request to the presidential administration, to other structures, including the ethics commission, and sent a request to Vyacheslav Volodin himself about a week ago,” Parfenov explained. So far, the communist has not received an answer to any of the requests.
and…
A key part of Vladimir Putin’s constitutional changes, approved in a national vote earlier this month, called for a halt to top officials having foreign passports or the right to reside in other countries. The clause was popular with the public, given the number of times over the past three decades that corrupt former politicians or bureaucrats have fled abroad after milking Russia.
I then wondered, “How many US politicians in such a situation have dual passports?”
I think the truth will not be known, for if it was, we would be amazed. I am glad Russia is smart enough to weed out the fifth column of scum…
Funny how it is easy to find out this info in Russia, yet when I look for the same in the American government, nada….net….no….nee-yu….nyet…
Well any truth that is…
This morning as I walked…
A man about my age was riding his bike into the Tiny Russian Village. He had a tiny village doggy running behind him and as he and I said good morning, Foxy Fox came out of the reeds along the lake. He knew the little doggy and those two barked at each other and off they went. Little doggy ran past me but Foxy Fox stopped and looked at me. I said, “Come on!” Then I stepped aside and he yelped at me and off he went to catch his buddy the little doggy. The last I saw of them, the guy was walking his bike up the mountain and foxy Fox and little doggy were running around him in circles playing all the way up the hill…
If you only knew how many lies you are told about Russia in the news and by your government, then you would be unable to ever believe what they told you again…
It surprises me how disinterested we are today about things like physics, space, the universe and philosophy of our existence, our purpose, our final destination. Its a crazy world out there. Be curious. – Stephen Hawking
Sanction Russia again and again. Sanction China again and again. Sanction EU, sanction Germany, sanction Iran, Sanction Venezuela, Sanction Syria, Sanction your mother, father and the damn doggy. just sanction and sanction and expect everyone to like it and take it or else….heck there has to be thirty or forty countries under some form of sanctions by the US…
Get it over with and just sanction the whole world, yes you USA, just sanction the world and then everyone else can get on with life and ignore you. That self-proclaimed Ivory Tower will be very lonely…
I have been singing baa baa Black sheep all morning…
Baa, baa, black sheep
Have you any wool?
Yes, sir, yes, sir
Three bags full
One for the master
And one for the dame
One for the little boy
Who lives down the lane
Baa, baa, black sheep
Have you any wool?
Yes, sir, yes, sir
Three bags full
I dunno, just stuck there this morning. So I walked and sang Baa Baa Black Sheep…
I am not debating about who God is and isn’t. I am not saying that your god is better and or worse than their god. I am saying, “We worship a million gods and those gods are simply looking out for themselves in this universe we call home.”
What I do also say is that, “We have a choice to make and right now our choices are based upon little insignificant gods of very short term and insignificant end results.”
A term “gods” is used in a form of basic deity style thinking…
I look around me at the world:
I watch the bull happening everywhere and I mean everywhere around the world. Yet the brunt of it is related to unabashed materialism immorality. This effect of lack of rules, morality and have it your way or no way has become a nemesis upon the planet…
So many in this day and age seem to be not satisfied with working and creating a nice little world that stops at the borders of their yard. They seem to think and seem to have been hog-washed into thinking that how they look at life should be spread like cow manure all over the place….the stink just permeates everywhere as they spread their weird thoughts and try to shove these thoughts down our throats daily, even hourly, constantly, never ending and do the spreading of crap as if it is the only way to live life…
What happened to staying within your borders? What happened to respecting others space? What happened to morals and decency?
I am not saying that the whole world is f-upped, but I will say that so much turmoil is centered and regulated straight from the materialistic ideology of life. The spread of materialism is like a cancer and we are now seeing that cancer has been sneaking upon the world through various outlets. Outlets such as media, politics and lack of commitment to morals. Morals that define us as humans and not some run amok monkeys in the tree tops…
It is not the first time that humans have gone into the pit of despair and will not be the last time. For it seems that we generally are only able to worship and gather thoughts of little gods and materialism is one of those persistent powerful little gods…
It is simple:
So many humans have so much in material possessions and so many have to struggle day to day….yet even us Americans are just peasants when you look at the obscenely rich, that have so much money and possessions that it is really incomprehensible as to how they obtained such wealth and power…
Say what you want; but that fact that a person can have billions and billions and billions of our worlds assets, while they have billions of people working under them for minuscule assets….seems to be a rigged system at best…
Yet the desire, even for the poorest is to obtain material items…
That is the key that I figured out:
The system is rigged and has been rigged for a very longtime. It was rigged against us from the very beginning, just like when the great kings ruled and or great leaders ruled past countries and empires. Humans dance the same tune every time and a choice few seem to always get on top and garner the assets, as they live in castles and have personal armies to guard the walls of their domains…
I believe that the idea of God and the Devil, good and evil, heaven and hell has been derived from past waves of degradation of societies through material ideologies…
Greed Hate Envy:
So human in its beginnings and so human in its desires…
Yet, materialism is naught but a budding branch of Greed Hate Envy and all are the downfall of us as animals. We are simply glorified animals and nothing more. The experiment of mixing a soul of righteousness with an animal base is a failure. The core basics, God vs Devil, good vs evil, heaven vs hell is and always seems to sway to the dark side….time and time again…
It is who we are and what we desire. Nothing more and nothing less:
This has nothing to do with capitalism, communism, socialism and what-knots. That is all label crap. For nothing that we live and experience is anything but what happens as our soul or whatever is mixed with the ape and or how ever you want to desire us to be as a starting factor, we are incapable of getting free of our basic roots and we always fall back on greed hate envy….good always falters within the shadow what we consider evil…
It makes you stop and understand why the Ten Commandments were written. They are rules, if nothing else to live by and rules that make the world better. Yet they are probably the most broken and degraded rules in mankind’s history…
Pride, greed, wrath, envy, lust, gluttony, and sloth:
So few rules, yet so hard to follow. For if we follow these rules of not being and accepting of the seven main sins. Then we cannot not follow our lessor gods and those desires. Such as power, money, control, slavery, desire and a whole bunch more tiny gods that call to us. Many times we are called by one or more of these lessor gods individually and expressively just to entice us personally…
This says it pretty clear…
I am no longer sure of anything. If I satiate my desires, I sin but I deliver myself from them; if I refuse to satisfy them, they infect the whole soul. – Jean-Paul Sartre
So I ask, “Why?”
Why do I want so much and too much? Why did I kill so many in war? Why do I do what I do? Why am I driven to succeed? Why am I lazy? Why do I want money? Why???
Then I ask, “Why do you do it also?”
We live in interesting times. These times are no better and no worse, yet actually we have more than we ever had in our past. Yet, it seems that our accomplishments are much less in comparison to the whole picture of humanity…
The path we have chosen is not the best path to the end results we should desire…
Materialism the god that encompasses all others:
Materialism (a tendency to consider material possessions and physical comfort as more important than spiritual values.) is not a good religion to practice and materialism infects all other religions equally. No one, no country and no spiritualism is able to escape the materialism god that uses greed, jealousy, envy and such as a bases for its power…
There is a reason for the basic ten commandments, yet those basic reasons are what we strive to ignore all the more. This ignorance of the basics is what brings humans around and around time and time again to the low points that we always seem to destroy ourselves with…
It would be okay to hit bottom: (and we have hit bottom many times in our existence on this planet.)
Yet we never seem to learn from our past and gather the teachings of the excursions as we sail through life upon this wonderful planet and no one, but no one wants to accept that all that is happening is simply our fault….
Not the devil, not God, not sins, not materialism and not a million other things that we worship daily and desire daily…
It always falls back upon us as humans and the inability to get a grasp upon the important things that make life a blessing and whether we are able to discern the difference between wants and needs…
Until we humans are able to stabilize our existence and that means we all have to be on the same page of development. Be that spiritually, financially, mentally and many more such as simply understanding that there is a division between good and bad….we prefer it seems to like to blur the boundary between good and bad as being one in the same…
Harmony of humans will it and or will it never happen?
I have a hard time seeing humans working together. I do marvel at the thought of the fact that if the world was in harmony and all issues prevalent were gathered and solved as one mindset. What we could accomplish and what we could have as a life…
Instead of embracing the miracle that we even exist at all, that existence alone should let us know that if we were able to survive even a minuscule 100,000,000 years by galactic standards, what we could become! For it really is simple; we are so much more than what we accept as our fate in life…
I can dream and wish that we could transcend the bonds destroying our true potential in not just our world, but within our galaxy and within our universe…
We humans are all a miracle, just by the basic fact that we exist….much less accepting the fact that our world is teeming with life of unbelievable complexity and abilities…
“And out of that hopeless attempt has come nearly all that we call human history—money, poverty, ambition, war, prostitution, classes, empires, slavery—the long terrible story of man trying to find something other than God which will make him happy.” ― C.S. Lewis

Humans so disjointed, so fragmented and so aimless…
Oh I beg to differ about the ongoing riots and violence, it’s peaceful protesting alright. This is the norm in many countries and the US has endorsed such peaceful protests many many times…
So don’t you dare call what is happening in America riots! It is just par for the course as the US has spread around the world through color revolutions…
The US government has defined peaceful protesting multiple times, by its reactions and support in such places as Maidan in Ukraine in 2014, when burning tires, Molotov cocktails, and death. Buildings were burned, one in Odessa with people locked inside. It’s all good, by the US government. Just “peaceful protesting,” they said, even as many of the Berkut (Ukraine special forces) were dosed with petrol and set afire; as they were murdered. To spice to things up, the CIA snipers arrived and added the icing on the cake so to say…
Thus if snipers arrive in Portland or Seattle, it’s still peaceful protesting for democracy… (Yes it is!)
Examples of these USA backed peaceful sweet protesting over the years: 2003 Rose Revolution in Georgia, Snow Revolution 2011 Russia, Tulip Revolution in Kyrgyzstan, 2005 Orange Revolution in Ukraine, Ukraine’s second Color Revolution in 2014, Serbia (2000), 2019 protests in Hong Kong, Arab Spring, Yellow Revolution 1986 Philippines, Coconut Revolution 1988 Papua New Guinea, Velvet Revolution 1989 Czechoslovakia. These are just but a few of the illegal and many times deadly examples of USA induced color revolutions….oh yes there are many more instigated by the USA…
So if they bring out the snipers in America? Just part of the game plan to help things along to democracy….never forget that it is all peaceful and sweet snuggles…
It is okay, all good and you should rejoice in the fact that democracy is being rained upon you lucky souls. So America rejoice, maybe you can eat popcorn and watch on TV, the bringing of democracy to the USA… ~~~~
Well, what goes around, comes around….you know?
WtR
PS: Maybe we (Americans) should have never instigated and supported riots in other countries? You think…
Finished inside of prorch and done painting the inside…
Also mowed our field across the road…
Up at 3 a.m. and after looking at the mess America is in on the internet and reading what some of my friends are saying about things there. I decided to get it in gear and quit being lazy…
I cannot help but always be in amazement at the sunrise, Life is wonderful when Mrs. Sunrise smiles at you and the birds are singing their favorite songs…
When I was mowing, the birdbrains from all over came and followed me around. Lots of good tasty bugs being stirred up as I mow…
Have a nice day….I will in the Tiny Russian Village!
Just maybe we should revisit all the old teachings of old? Looks like we need a refresher course in what did not work very well in the past…
If someone cries wolf, they say that there is a problem when there is not, with the result that people do not believe them when there really is a problem.
Four Russian vaccines which may combat coronavirus have been proven to be safe, with some tests already at their final stage, Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin told parliament on Wednesday.Mishustin told MPs that Russia’s health system is prepared for a rise in cases this fall. He explained that the government had provided an investment boost to national healthcare in response to the Covid-19 outbreak and now it has enough resilience to withstand a possible second wave.“Four vaccines today have proven to be safe, according to Rospotrebnadzor [Federal Service for Surveillance on Consumer Rights Protection and Human Wellbeing].”The prime minister stressed that 17 scientific and research institutions in the country were developing the vaccine today, including the Ministry of Education and Science, the Health Ministry, the Federal Medical-Biological Agency and the Federal Service for Surveillance on Consumer Rights Protection and Human Wellbeing. “There are more than 26 types of the vaccine,” Mishustin said.
Sitting in the Tiny Russian Village in the wee hours of the morning….contemplating about the day ahead….heard little chirps and saw some shadows, some right in front of my face. Then on came the sensor light and low and behold, bats and more bats…
So since Mother Nature was calling. I tried to get a video and did so at different zooms and such. Kinda worked….enjoy!
So I kept trying to get a better video. So dark and not easy…
And again…
And one more time….it is around 3 to 3:30 a.m. so hard to get a good video at that time…
No wonder I could sit outside this morning and no mosquitoes bothered me…
