Illegally imprisoned and treated like a spy. The American way against Russians and the Chinese now…
I hope this will help teach the Russians to not go to the, “Land of the Free and Home of the Brave.”
Nothing good will come from it…

Sad to lose both parents, but life goes on and they make it…

3:30 a.m. and it started to rain. I woke up because my blood sugar dropped into low 5’s mmol/l and with that it is impossible for me to sleep anymore. Thus, it is coffee time and try to get my brain and body going for another day…
I am a bit peeved…
My big laptop has shelled out and I am not sure that I can get it going again. This is the same old same old story from the past as I deal with computers in the Tiny Russian Village. I need to get a monitor and attach it, for this particular laptop has a pathetic weak connection between the motherboard and screen. It just does not stay connected, no matter what I do…
Therefore, I am pecking away upon my emergency Oysters brand Windows 10 Tablet piece of crap, but with a keyboard computer. It is better than nothing, but, it still sucks…
Actually, I should be fair to the little tablet. It always works and is stable and reliable. Even if I get frustrated, I must give dues where they are due…
Just that my hand is as big as the computer itself and there is a serious lack of memory to try to get things done. Maybe that is good? I will irritate less people with some of my posts…
Thought One:
America sure looks stupid with the Syrian situation. We started stupid, we cruised in stupid mode for years and we left kinda left mostly but still stupid. All these years we have lied, cheated, instigated, killed, supported terrorists and lied about our lies…
By the way one way or another; America has gone full stupid about many countries. Venezuela, Russia, China, North Korea, Vietnam, Brazil, Cuba, Israel, Saudi Arabia, Ukraine, Belarus and dozens of other countries and we really must include almost all of the EU itself. Hell we are stupid to our own people…
I just wish us Americans could grow out of this stupid stage…
Thought Two:
Is a simple thought….The political system in most countries in the world need a serious makeover. There really is a bunch of “no nothing burgers” out in the political world and they are all of our so called leaders. But all most all have nice suits and a perfect smile…
I like my burgers seasoned, toasted bun, cheese, bacon and garnished, please!
Thought Three:
The little kittens this morning are all watching me as I look outside at the rain. They all have this curious look like, “What you doing? You know it is 4 a.m.? Right? Are you stupid?”
Thought Four:
Svetochka is coming Friday, then we will go back to Moscow. I have so much to do still and need to get it done. Winter is coming, all you have to do is look outside and see that…
I will be glad to see my sweetpea, she is a perfect match for me. I grouch and she smiles…
Then I smile…
Thought Five and final thought:
We really live on a wonderful planet. We do not seem to understand that we are blessed to have such a fantastic place to live, but we would rather squabble and kill each other…
So far, I can see no difference between us and all the other animals. We are not superior in anyway. We in fact, are actually inferior in our actions and thoughts…
I guess that falls back to that statement I make all the time, “Humans are stupid!”
The sad thing though is that we think we are superior…
Lets have another cup of coffee. There is that at least…

Women laughed that men were upset over the Gillette issue…
Now the real women get a taste of what it feels like….but, but, but I am a woman who feels like a man and my girl parts are insulted….whatever…
And people want to try and say this stuff isn’t linked to mental illness. Believe you me we have a bunch of mentally ill people and we better get it under control fast…
We are allowing this transgender crap to destroy the West and then soon the world…
Time to switch brands ladies…

PS: Should the men laugh? No because it affects us all and is too serious…
I have been busy and you know when you get that feeling that someone or something is watching you?
I looked at all the village windows first and then after a few days, no one around, then they came out in the open. They (cats) are curious as to what I am doing. I make noise, I cuss when I smash a finger and I growl like a bear. Other words, I am grouchy…
The little kittens do not care and they come around to see what this Big Bear is doing…
Mommy Kitty is doing a great job and there are five kittens total. They all were hanging around our front door last night and kept asking, “What you doing?”

That’s right America, concentrate on one man (Trump) when our whole country has been warmongering since, like you know, forever…
Strange how a illegal war that started when Obama was in office is pushed aside and now pinned on Trump!
I voted for Trump and think his policies suck, but we need to be honest and put the blame where it belongs. We started terrorizing Syria and Obama was in charge…
America is a strange country!
But nothing new here, move along…

Took a very long walk this morning, about two hours. It is so wonderful here in the Tiny Russian Village and I just had to go out to see the wildlife. I saw two deer, thousands of sparrows, two eagles and of course our dozen or so ravens. I wonder if they all miss Boza? I know I do…
I walked the lake bed, but it is almost too wet still to walk very easy. It is still interesting and I have to clean my shoes, for they seem to have gathered a bit of sandy mud…
Well I gotta get going. things do not get done by wishing for them to get done. That would be nice, though…
Have a nice day…

An RT Arabic crew peeked inside the US compound in Syria’s Manbij, abandoned by the Americans just a few hours previously. Footage from the scene suggests the US troops were in a hurry, leaving behind hardware and personal items.The troops pulled out of the base, located southwest of the northern city of Manbij, overnight and into Tuesday. The retreat follows the decision by the US President Donald Trump to withdraw American personnel in the face of the Turkish operation against Kurdish-led militias.
Looks like something from a Hollywood movie. The whole town of people just disappeared. I dunno what happened…
Main thing is that this is an illegal base within Syrian borders. We were not invited and we just invaded a country against their wishes…
Lots of good stuff to be had in that base….it should make you think about our actions in other countries….We could use some of that expendable tax money tossed our way. Seems to be an abundance of it…

Last night Svetochka hopped the train to Moscow and she is safe back home. I am alone again in The Tiny Russian Village and realize that I woke with no pain from arthritis and started to line out what I have to do to get winterized at our two Russian Village Homes…
In about two weeks Svetochka will comeback by train and after a few more days in the village, we will drive back to Moscow. In between for now, I will heal and get ready for winter. TRV is the place I go to get peace and quiet…
Svetochka saw first hand how I was able to toss off the constant and nagging pain and even dance again. Well dance as good as an old grouchy bear is able to at this old age…
Life is good…
Just wish my sweetpea was here all the time. Someday we will live here permanently, but until then I will work and get the things that need and have to be done….done…
I have talked about the water situation many times in our village and now after a summer of turmoil and people complaining and people being made to start paying for water. He he he….the local government has really messed stuff up… (Local government means the government from a nearby much bigger village. Since Vova is the only true full time villager now at our TRV…)
They put the water on a timer and run the wells everyday. The wells overflow and dump thousands of gallons of wasted water all over the ground and the electricity usage has gone off the scale. This is the electricity issue that the local government screamed about, saying that Vova was using too much…
So now that they think they have money coming in and are smarter than Vova and Kyle the American. They waste water and waste electricity,because they do not want to come out and push a button everyday. It is too far and too hard to get to our village…
Vova demanded payment to do the wells and instead of giving him a few thousand rubles a month they waste tens of thousands of rubles every month…
Sounds very governmental, does it not?
Sveta and I got a very important thing accomplished yesterday…
We got our two properties surveyed…
This has taken months to get done. Just like doing anything in Russia with the government, time is the most important thing. Money is not the issue, for literally everything you do is dirt cheap. But time has to be accepted as the true monetary outlay…
But, it happened and we have surveyed our new home and all of its land that should go with it and surveyed Svetochka’s mother property and all additions that were added over the years….if all works good, maybe within two years and or three years, Our homes will be totally legal in the Russian governments eyes…
As it is, I would be able to say that we have the only two properties in our village that are close to legal. The old Soviet ways are still strong in the boondocks. No one cared or needed to have papers on anything. You claimed it and owned it and if you needed more land to grow food, you fenced it off and acted like it was yours… 😉
This was the way you did it, because going through all the trouble to title stuff was such a pain in the ass…
Interesting tidbit: Almost all laws and rules that I had to deal with in America to get, obtain and keep property are exactly the same as they are in Russia. So to Svetochka’s surprise, I know what has to be done and in what order it has to be done. she knows how to work the system and with my knowledge of past usage of said systems, we get it done. Slowly but done…
I miss my sweetpea this morning and wish she was here…
Gotta go dance…
