 The Rolling Stones… Nuff Said… WtR

It is a job I take seriously: Get ready and do not think it is a joke. You can joke about the extra food later… We are getting regular face masks and Sveta and I have bought several of these high grade masks, with eye protection. We also just had shipped replacement filters for these […]

This morning was nice… Sveta was able to walk with me to Globus and we ate breakfast together and then I took her to the train station. It was nice to have her along. She loves to walk with me and since she was not in a hurry this morning to get to work fast….we […]

Excuse Me! I am flabbergasted over the latest bull hockey….. Turkey invades Syria to protect their terrorists! Turkish soldiers get bombed and die!

Kinda boring in a way, yet surprising also at times… So I walked deep into the woods today. I was so proud of myself and thought, “Man, I am doing great and getting in shape!” The tracks I am following will end up smack crossing into Moscow City itself, if I keep going… Then deep […]

This morning I walked and decided that it is time to start stocking food. After seeing Italy and South Korea being stomped on by the virus scare and supplies running out. It is time to get ahead of the stampede….Russians will panic at some point and it is time to ease into stocking food for […]

Just walking and looking at life in Russia. Many people walking and going and I have to catch the images when there are not tons of people around. I end up taking multiple images, because someone always seems to pop up out of nowhere. The one of the half finished old home had a woman […]
