Sveta brought him home from her mothers and he was in pieces. The glue holding him together had dried out and powdered away and his sack of onions/potatoes/cabbage was empty. His mustache was also half gone and what was left was kinda rough…
So I stripped him to the basics and gave him a bath. Then we dressed him again. After looking at him, I decided Gino from Italy was a good place for him to be named and from. Actually he looks a bit Cossack and I am probably insulting the original makers of the doll…
Filled his sack with goodies and he is a happy guy again…
Sveta got the doll as a child…
Well well who do I spy?
Lenin in a green suit and on the wall of the house. Is that Stalin? Nah, still Lenin…
Pet peeve of mine with new construction. Year old sidewalk…
New housing complex and all the sidewalks are crumbling. I despise brick sidewalks, because they use bad/cheap-ass bricks as a cost saver. Poor walking conditions and such. I prefer asphalt, so much nicer on the feet…
WUHAN, Oct. 15 (Xinhua) — A group of 17 athletes from the U.S. Armed Forces has arrived at the airport in the central Chinese city of Wuhan for the up-coming 2019 Military World Games here on Monday midnight. About 300 athletes from the United States are expected to arrive in the next 2 days. Mark Juliano, a U.S. archery and taekwondo player, said he believed his compatriots would do very well in events like running sports, triathlon, archery and taekwondo. He said that he had read news reports about the preparatory work of the Military World Games here in Wuhan and watched videos about the athletes’ village and the venues.
You can tell they are the same areas, yet they have changed a bunch…
Also this morning I caught the super moon or worm moon as it is called…
Can you believe that I could get a picture like this from my Huawei Mate 30? That is 30X zoom and while not like my big camera, that is the point, it is from a cellphone….Oh my it was hard to hold steady at all. If I had a tripod I could have gotten a good shot…
Gotta go get some stuff for stock against a possible virus siege…
Ever walked peacefully in the woods and met an Elk?
I was minding my own business and looking at the ground, looking for elk tracks. I found some in a mud area crossing a logging road as I walked and followed them the best I could. I rounded a tree…
First lets start how I got elk tracking. I found droppings…
Then I found tracks…
And then I found a squirrel jumping tree to tree…
He said, “Oh No! A human.” and ran!
Jumped tree to tree, faster than my burst shot could catch him…
Then I put the camera away and walked a bit more trying to find more elk tracks…
I rounded a tree…
Then I almost had a heart attack, as I came face to face with a bull elk!
I am 6’3″ tall and his eyes were diverted downwards to look at my eyes. I was easily able to look over his shoulders, but the set of antlers towered above me….He was wide eyed and I froze instantly. I would say he weighed an easy 700 plus pounds or more and knew that if spooked, he could kill me easily…
Just as I was getting my head around using the tree I went around as a guard, he decided that I was stupid and he turned and shot off like a rocket. It was not two bounds and the forest swallowed him up and I heard nothing at all…
It was like looking at a horse with antlers…
And for your information, I did not even try to get my camera back out. I definitely did not want to startle him…..he was no more than two feet from me!
I decided to backtrack to the main road and walked home!
Now that was worth the twelve kilometer walk I took today…
Got home and checked my vitals…
Blood Pressure: 109/68
Heart Rate: 62 bpm
Blood sugar: 3.9 – too low, I know! (I forgot to take a protein bar for low sugar…)
Now you understand why I walk. I walk to try to keep my health good. I have too many issues, but walking will save me. Well at least until the elk, bears and or my own stupidity gets me! đ
Elks are one big ass animal running around in the woods next to you…
MOSCOW, March 5. /TASS/. Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin has signed an order placing Moscow on high alert due to the threat of novel coronavirus outbreak in the Russian capital. The document was published on the official Moscow government website.”Due to the threat of the novel coronavirus infection (2019-nCoV) spreading in Moscow to introduce a state of high alert on the territory of Moscow,” the document informs.
Slowed down for a few days. Still slow as I walked into the deep woods. I have to admit that hurting myself set something off in my brain. What if I broke my leg and or twisted my foot next time. So with that in mind, I gingerly went back into the woods and found myself instead going off the beaten path and getting even deeper…
I know!
Steam Lines….yes hot…
In the middle of the woods and no road except removed railroad tracks nearby…
The moss is coming to life…
Cool, someone built a tree house at one time. Very rotten now…
The forest is alive with moss…
I just love this fur tree at the water works building…
Did not meet anyone deep into the woods. Just chickadees and squirrels….the chickadees told me to be careful and the squirrels tossed acorns at me…
To counter the Western manipulative media, within the data war we are under at this stage and age, I recommend that humans desiring to stay sane?
Overlook, turnoff, ignore the globalist-controlled conventional media, âThat media as of now dead and wasting good resources.â
The future depends upon humans that desire to know truth, not coddled crap, âto which, of course, the most elevated benchmarks of news coverage is appliedâ and get out of the house to see the sunset and smell the roses…
Yes, perhaps but perhaps not: maybe we should listen to our inner soul and maybe we should think outside that box that they have so conveniently told us is the thinking outside the box and really think outside the box. I believe we will find that the box is within the box we are suppose to think outside of?
Maybe thinking is good for once? Yes, I know thinking hurts, but it is necessary for us humans to survive….
This video is of the eternal flame for the WW2 monument…
All was good until I decided to kiss the ground and that stopped my desire to take pictures and videos…
So two days later, I am still hurting and grumbling about how life is unfair! đ
Right now and for a few more days I will not take pictures. I cannot raise my right arm at all and afraid I will drop my phone. Knowing me, yes I will drop it…
Svetochka and I are getting the last few hundred masks that we have been stocking today (We will have around 500 masks). We are trying to get enough for her whole family and us of course. Then Geneva just put out a bulletin…
Geneva: World Health Organization officials called on medical supply manufacturers to âurgently increase productionâ to meet the global demand that is needed to respond to the COVID-19 outbreak rapidly spreading across the world.
âSupplies are rapidly depleting. WHO estimates that, each month, 89 million medical masks will be required for the COVID-19 response, 76 million examination gloves and 1.6 million goggles,â Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, director-general of WHO, said separately at a news conference at the organizationâs Geneva headquarters. He said manufacturers need to increase personal protective gear supplies by 40%…
Again I am trying to get and stay ahead of what is happening…
I stocked the last food items this morning, we are also getting rubber gloves and other tidbits…
It does not matter if this is all for naught!
What matters is when the only way you will be able to travel and go to the store is to have a mask on, is what matters….like it or not, things are coming apart and I will error on the abundance side. Even though a mask is basically unable to stop a virus, that matters not when you are curtailed and home bound without one on your face. It is coming…
Time to get serious….this is more than meets the eye. What is happening is changing our world under duress and it will be never the same after it is all over…
