Windows to Russia

Turkey was considerably warmer than Moscow and it was really nice to get a break from the snow and more snow. It was really too cold to swim and Sveta who is a water baby at heart tried. It was fun to watch her stare at the water and after putting her big toe into […]

I have crossed the Russian border so many times that I really can not count them. Most of the time I do not say anything as I leave the country of Russia. I come and go from Russia and you never know it. That is because I get a one year multi-entry visa and I […]

In high school many years ago. More years than I like to contemplate, now at this stage of my life. I had a teacher for chemistry that was much older than all the other teachers and much wiser than all the other teachers. In fact I had no idea how intelligent he was until I […]

Would you believe that the United States tried to do something that was not nice against Hugo Chávez? Wikileaks has done it again. I guess the US will really have to get tough now with Julian Assange and Bradley Manning. In a secret US cable to the State Department, dated November 9, 2006, and recently […]

Time to go home. The trip is over, the temp is 24 c here and by tonight the temp will be -5 c in Moscow… We have to spend today messing around and getting ready to go home. Sveta and I are gathering tidbits of food for tonight, from our last two meals. We will […]

While we did not come for fun in the sun and beach swimming. We did want to walk to the beach and look for sea shells. So we find the first misrepresentation by the system we got the tour through. The beach is two kilometers away and that is a far cry from 200 meters, […]

Mis-translations, games being played, war-mongering, stupidness, bullying and intentionally mis-leading the general public. That is what the aghast Turkey news is showing me, as I catch upon the world happenings over North Korea… Britain and the USA are leading a media assault against North Korea in an all out attempt to try to get into […]
