The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, and wiser people so full of doubts. – Bertrand Russell I gotta go to the Big Village today and do some shopping. My tummy is growling for some food… Until then… Coffee is still the number one food […]

I got pretty sick from the hornet sting. Felt bad all day, but I still plucked along and got some things done… First thing at 5 a.m. I walked. Then I opened up the new home and fought a battle with two more hornets. I won and found their nest. (Now that was fun, I […]

The neocons are celebrating today… We sacrificed a multi-million Dollar drone to try to instigate WW3… Why the hell are we flying a surveillance drone around and near and in Iran in the first place? We were supposed to be getting out of the Middle East. If we pursue this stupid course of action then […]

Out of nowhere I got hit on the back near the elbow of my left arm. Darn that hurt and believe you me, that hornet either had to run fast or he was going to die. I had a flyswatter nearby and grabbed and spun. Caught him mid air and knocked him down. Then the […]

Our new “Nikolai’s Home” is sitting on top of the world. At least it looks like it is at times. It is located such that it has a perfect view of the valley and you can see everyone who is trying to get to the village… When Sammy the Volga demands attention, I give her […]

Meet George the Bird… and a few weeks ago we found his new life in progress… George is back and TRV is just perfect… Well we just got to the Tiny Russian Village and found this… So at Nikolai’s Home we have to be very quiet and careful. Babies are a growing up… The Tiny […]

We (mainly I) am going to spend up to a month in the Tiny Russian Village. We have too much to do and we hope that we can get it done. Svetochka will go home after a week and try to bring her mother with her when she comes back again in a week or […]
