Windows to Russia

When I grew up my grandma would make these wonderful burgers. They were so good and my favorite color of purple, that I would eat three or more if allowed. This meat burger was wonderful and there always seemed to be lots of extra patties when these big purple meat patties were served. Later in […]

I have discovered the pattern of development in this Russian village’s past. It was a female monastery to start with, then it became a village called Communal and that was a farm village, then it became a school for the deaf and blind and then it became just simply a village. Now we will add […]

I chose today, due to the cloud cover, to wash all the dishes and my clothes. It is hard on me to stand in the hot sun too long and I took advantage of a partly sunny day. If this day holds on to partly sunny, I will most likely install a carburetor on our […]

Many many moons ago the West started it (That impossible lenticularis motion of ignorance that the world seems to rotate through every few hundred years!) and actually, virtually everything is a failure, except for making the rich richer. We have made the middle class in the Western Empire a poor class, the poor are simply welfare […]

Sveta and I talked and it looks like I will be staying in the Russian village until the end of September. Then we will take our yearly trip to Tunisia and enjoy a few weeks of leisure. Then back to Moscow, Russia and settle in for the winter. It will take me probably two years […]

Boza and I are bachelors again for at least 10 days. Maybe longer and maybe not! Therefore I decided to post some pictures that Sveta and I took, mostly by Sveta… The Martin family of birds thrive in this village. The Bell Tower is a Purple Martin / Scissor-tail Swallow haven and the old packed […]

I posted this many years ago and decided to bring it forward, for while some of the information has changed, the time frames have changed, the needs and desire have not and most likely things will change a million times before they are done. The data given in the post is accurate and important… The […]

How simply sad and pathetic to measure a man’s worth by the value of his paper assets alone. If that is the metric that we find most compelling to use, then it is far better to be consider a loser on the planet “Usury…” There are far more important metrics to measure the worth of […]
