Those who visit Chistoprudny Boulevard will have an opportunity to go far back in time. An ancient Russian homestead will appear there and they will be able to visit those times. How about spending several months without a smartphone, electricity, heating, or your usual food and clothes? Would this be an ordeal or an incredible journey? The answer to this question may be found at one of the venues of the Times & Epochs Festival that is being held in the capital on 10-22 August. All those who would like to
I shake my head to think that the opioid crises could be worse than what I lived through in the past. But it seems to be worse now and I saw terrible things (1960’s and 1970’s) once upon a time in America….very very terrible things…
NEW YORK CITY — It isn’t just paramedics, police officers and opioid users who should keep naloxone, a safe medication that reverses overdoses, on hand, city officials say.

Maybe we need to address the underlining real issue of our society and stop the band aids…

This Is Not Your Father’s Heroin Crisis – From the legacy of morphine-addicted Civil War veterans to the rock-and-roll drug culture of the ’60s, the United States has had a long dark history with opioid abuse. But today’s burgeoning overdose crisis is threatening to become the deadliest chapter in the country’s relationship with heroin. InsideSources offers a look at how this generation’s wave of heroin addiction has exploded into a national crisis:
Maybe it would be better to grind up that Percocet and suck it down into your lungs, than to face real life? Snorting percocet/vicodin was big in the big cities I lived in….you could make a fortune selling one percocet and or vicodin at a time for over twenty dollars apiece…
Idiots….take it from someone who has had morphine for heart attacks (six of them to be exact,) knife wounds, being shot and several other occasions. There is nothing about the stuff that cures anything…
They are by all accounts surging at us speedier than I thought conceivable. It all truly relies upon how imbecilic our “Uncle Sam” turns, all it needs is one major occasion to trigger it now, and there are is no deficiency of chaos, as we have in advance, being laid out for our buffet tables. The turmoil dances freely as we look away. Despite everything I think WWIII is the likeliest result, seems to be what the world parasites who are running everything, desire…
Parasites of human variety will always be sociopaths. And they seem to always want our degradation of life and limb…
Don’t parasites realize that the host has to stay healthy and alive?
Okay, we are getting ready to try to get to the Tiny Russian Village. I seem to be recovered from the flue and it is time to get to TRV and get some work done. I am sure Vova has thought I fell off a cliff and will never be back. Oh well, it is life in the big city. Though with me, I would rather have life in the small village…
Something big our way is coming…
The news around the world is turmoil city and I mean Turmoil with a capital T!
Covering for something?
How many countries can the USA hate? I guess we will find out. Seems to be a new country on the $^&# list daily…
Once the religious, the hunted and weary
Chasing the promise of freedom and hope
Came to this country to build a new vision
Far from the reaches of Kingdom and pope
Like good Christians some would burn the witches
Later some got slaves to gather riches
But still from near and far to seek America
They came by thousands, to court the wild
But she just patiently smiled and bore a child
To be their spirit and guiding light
And once the ties with the crown had been broken
Westward in saddle and wagon it went
And till the railroad linked ocean to ocean
Many the lives which had come to an end
While we bullied, stole and bought a homeland
We began the slaughter of the red man
But still from near and far to seek America
They came by thousands to court the wild
But she just patiently smiled and bore a child
To be their spirit and guiding light
The Blue and Grey they stomped it
They kicked it just like a dog
And when the war was over
They stuffed it just like a hog
And though the past has its share of injustice
Kind was the spirit in many a way
But its protectors and friends have been sleeping
Now it’s a monster and will not obey
The spirit was freedom and justice
And its keepers seemed generous and kind
Its leaders were supposed to serve the country
But now they won’t pay it no mind
Cause the people grew fat and got lazy
Now their vote is a meaningless joke
They babble about law and order
But it’s all just an echo of what they’ve been told
Yeah, there’s a monster on the loose
It’s got our heads into the noose
And it just sits there watchin’
The cities have turned into jungles
And corruption is stranglin’ the land
The police force is watching the people
And the people just can’t understand
We don’t know how to mind our own business
‘Cause the whole world’s got to be just like us
Now we are fighting a war over there
No matter who’s the winner we can’t pay the cost
‘Cause there’s a monster on the loose
It’s got our heads into the noose
And it just sits there watchin’
America, where are you now
Don’t you care about your sons and daughters
Don’t you know we need you now
We can’t fight alone against the monster
America, where are you now
Don’t you care about your sons and daughters
Don’t you know we need you now
We can’t fight alone against the monster
No hot water and not even a sign that says, “Stick it up your ass!”
I have no more animals to sacrifice and I guess I will do like the Russians and ignore the fact that they missed the deadline….yes that is normal Russian way to do things also…
I miss the Tiny Russian Village…
Thought this was a cute picture. Russians love their bears…
Have a nice day…

PS: Update: 2 p.m. hot water flowed….the gods love us again….Or maybe they were tired of us all stinking like a pig farm?
Every year (Here in Moscow, Russia.) we pray to the “Hot Water Gods”. They are a persnickety group of gods. Everything has to be perfect and exact before they turn our hot water back on. It is a process requiring great precision and expertise. I am sure they work hard 24/7 until it is done? Never mind why they have to do such a thing in the first place? It is something that the gods do every year and I feel they enjoy such moments as we have to take cold showers and wash everything in cold water….Today we hope that we have sufficiently sacrificed appropriately to the “Hot Water Gods” and thus they will allow us a trickle of hot water to cleanse our souls with…. They are a very powerful god and we do not want to upset them…
During his final conversation with air traffic controllers, Russell expressed regret that he had disappointed people who cared about him, describing himself as a “broken guy.”
Something was triggered and something is very wrong…

Rich, in the air and flying the stolen plane, is heard saying that while he managed to takeoff, he “wouldn’t know how to land it. I wasn’t really planning on landing it.”

I listened to the transcripts many times. I did a lot of thinking and something about this whole thing deeply bothers me…
Many things were said, they were not things said by a raving lunatic…
I agree something snapped in him, but he was not crazy (whether you want to believe it or not) and he, by his words, represented a whole bunch of issues that is becoming serious. We do lots of nutty things in life and I have seen some real doozies as I have walked this earth…
Something very forewarning about this whole situation and that is something we should try to understand. I am not alone, the comments about what happened are either very callused individuals and or people who feel something wrong…
I myself have some thinking to do about this issue….this is a time for understanding what triggered this. It is more than just a one issue happening. This is a highly intelligent, self taught individual and he stole this jet…

I love this traffic circle that has sputnik in the middle. It is a wonderful, beautiful spot in our city. There are lots of these type of places, but this one makes me stop and realize our history in the world. It is amazing to think I live as an American in the heart of the Russian area that gave birth to Sputnik…
I walk by these pigeon homes all the time. This home is full of pigeons and soon the owner will come to let them all out. Russians love their pigeons, in fact it is amazing as to the extent they will go to assure these birds have homes. There are thousands and thousands of these pigeon hotels all over Moscow. Even in the small tiny Russian Villages have such places. Remember I have said that even Vova in the Tiny Russian Village we have a home at, has a pigeon home for his buddies…
Sorry people but this latest round of stupidity by America is starting to wear thin with the world and as we allow the 800# Gorilla in the room to run amok. We Americans are only allowing and helping to make our own bed. Thus, we will sleep in it…
Russia’s Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev warned the United States on Friday that sanctions it plans to impose in August over the ex-spy poisoning might be treated as a declaration of economic war.
The USA and the west does want that war very badly. As the US is Trillions ($) in debt and lives off foreign loans. America lives in a much more fragile monetary bubble than you realize and has much more to loose than 99% of the world…
These knee-jerk reactions by the US (Mid Term elections are here. You Know?) are pathetic and childish….It is obvious who is a spoiled brat and who are the adults…
I give Russia credit where credit is due, it has done everything it can to preserve peace and avoid a nuclear war even though it has the major advantage in its nuclear arsenal over the USA….Lets hope America does not push until we find out what it is like to be carpet bombed across the whole country…

But what do you do when no one is home upstairs and the ship has no helmsman? The ship has lost its rudder?
Russia sees that the USA has no leader and or true leaders to lead the country. What America does have is a bunch of wannabes that are running amok all over the place…
When will you open your eyes?

PS: A rudderless ship is hard to deal with, yet it has to be brought under control and sometimes we have bad things happen while trying to catch that ship running in circles…
