This tale ended with all okay, but it could have turned out deadly, for when Boza and I went hunting for creatures like bear, lions and tigers, we never expected to come across the ruler of the lands and the ponds nearby, of course; A giant elephant eating hedgehog…

We had been confused as to why there was a lack of lions, elephants and other such wild creatures in the area and now we had our fears confirmed. What with a killer Chihuahua in the village (Link) and the surrounding territory being ransacked by a viscous carnivore of a hedgehog, we are at the mercy of nature it seems…

It started like this: Boza and I were stealthily walking, looking for any sign of prey, we had decided that a lion sandwich tonight would be a good thing to eat and maybe a tiger leg to chew on would be a good second best. That was when we heard the sound…

The dreaded huffing and popping noise that is associated with death in the fields. All creatures young and old, big or small, even weak or tough, run for the hills and hide when you hear such a sound…

Pop pop pop pop pop – hiss huff – hiss huff – pop pop pop pop – huff huff huff…

But since Boza and I are either stupid or the bravest hunters on earth, we searched the grasses for the creature making these noises and we found him and to say the least, he was pissed off and did not appreciate me taking pictures of his attitude as it was happening. I gathered from the pile of elephant bones in the nearby field, that he had eaten already and we were very lucky that he did not want a snack for dinner. For I am sure Boza could have outrun him, but I am not sure that I could have…

I recorded the monumental event and then Boza and I turned to thoughts of fighting the creature and Boza looked at me kinda skeptically. All I had brought with me to fight with, was a special walking stick. It is extremely efficient at bringing lions down (with Boza’s help,) but a hedgehog and a hedgehog this big, was a different story. I most likely would not be here telling the store now, if we had confronted such a creature in the wilds…

Therefore, we left quietly and swiftly

Therefore again, Boza and I will gather our strength, weapons and abilities that have been finely honed to protect the lands with and hunt another day, when we are more assured of victory against a superior foe…

How was or is your day?

Our day was perfect…

Eighteen days (Actually 16 days left, but who is counting?) of sticking a needle in my leg and then following up with about a month of pills to subsidize the same stuff I just injected. It is called Vessel Due F and it is suppose to help with plaque in the veins and arteries. Plus, I get to do this twice a year for the rest of my life…

To be honest, I think it helps and it only is an issue while I am taking it. It does cause some headaches and such, but again who is counting? The benefits outweigh the detriment during dosage…

As per usual, I can waltz into a drugstore and receive this medication prescription free, yes as in free (No doctor charges a fortune to write a note from mommy to tell the pharmacist to give me what I need to get well!) and that is the same for 100% of my medications and every medication I take everyday, is a prescription drug in America. A drug that you can not get without a note from mommy. That is that freedom thingy situation, that I keep talking about. That tidbit of real freedom…

Now I did not say cost free, but I will say that medicines are an eighth the cost of the same in the western world, called America. Oh, but I forgot, you have Obamacare now and that makes it all better…

I am going to add another thinking to this post, as I just came back from walking Boza for an hour…

Sveta left yesterday to go back to Moscow and that makes Boza and I sad. The thing about all this is that Sveta has rediscovered her love for the village. She, like her mom, lost the love of the village. The Russian family is very big on what is best for the kid in the family and this village home was a purchase long ago for the baby in the family, Misha. Misha is grown and getting ready to get married himself and he has no interest in the village, what so ever. That act alone destroyed the desires of the rest of the family and therefore, the village home went the wayside…

It was more than just that Misha lost the desire for the village, he never had much choice, as they used the village to fulfill the aspect that Russians believe that children should spend as much time in the country as possible. Russian children need to be exposed to nature, animals and fresh air. The village also lost the grandpa that knew and cared to fix the home and land. He died just before I came to Russia and it has taken me years to get the blessings of everyone to continue working on the village property and that is what I am doing. Erasing the effects of time and weather on the home…

Now Sveta has gained a new purpose in the Russian Village called Sunrise to Freedom and she is in love with the village again. She wants to live here again and she sees that I am getting better, much better, now that I have left the crushing pressure of Moscow. That includes any city in my case, for cities are for strange people in my eyes and countryside is for real life and real people…

I use to say, “As long as I can piss off my back porch and no one can see me, or care, then I still have freedom!”

Thank God I found that freedom again…

U.S. citizens have no desire or interest in supporting a neo-Nazi coup government in the Ukraine, and yet the U.S. government not only supports it, but even initiated it. Similarly, citizens of the E.U. have no desire or interest in losing relatively inexpensive Russian gas, but the E.U. governments have endangered that supply by supporting the coup in the Ukraine, and even by halting construction of an alternative pipeline. As such, we are no longer representative democracies, and we the people are paying for that. I say turn off the gas! Maybe the coup will run out of gas…

Time to turn it off and send the gas to the east, where they will appreciate it and pay for it…

Kyle

I woke at 5am and the first thing I see is more reports and videos on West / Kiev Ukraine using white phosphorous on her East Ukraine people. Then I see where in a form of retaliation, a transport plane with at least 30 paratroopers from West Ukraine, has been blown out of the sky and all dead…

Okay; Well I call that civil war and there is nothing else to call it. The more Kiev does to try to stop it the worse it is going to get. East Ukraine does not want to be part of the immoral, corrupt and western controlled West Ukraine. The failed country is now very much a East Ukraine and West Ukraine and the American back West Ukraine is doing nothing but killing the east and now the East Ukraine is starting to fight back…

The East Ukraine has been slowly waking up to the monstrosities that the West Ukraine has been doing to them. Seems to me that Ukraine was never a unified country like Syria is and deserves to be ripped in half, unless they get Ukraine pride going and pull together against the western propaganda and corruption…

You see a big difference between Syria and Ukraine and exactly the same tactics were used on both of them. It failed in Syria as the people are really behind the government, as the government is behind the people and it succeeds in Ukraine because the government is against the people and the people distrust the government…

Me thinks that there is a lesson for the USA to render out of these messes they are creating…

Therefore, lets see what is happening right now as I write this…

Libya is in a definite civil war, even while the media has done its best to stymie the happenings there. Libya is in the state it is because of western intervention…

Syria is not in a civil war, but the media in the west tries to convince you they are. For a civil war is good people against evil people. Not a country against terrorists created by the west…

Iraq, which has never ceased to be in a civil war, has exploded back on the scene and showed its little face of civil war to the world, a face that never went away and once again was created by the USA…

Afghanistan is a permanent civil war that shows how stupid the U.S. really is; We created the mess in Afghanistan during Soviet times and are so arrogant that we even stepped in and got our ass whipped just like the Soviets did. Except we did not have a proxy war, USA country, trying to support everyone against the Soviets winning. We failed on our own… (Think about that one a few minutes!)

Ukraine is in a civil war and the western media is trying real hard to do the opposite of what they do in Syria, and ignore the truth and create the facts as they see fit to see them. Once again Ukraine is a created situation to allow the west to manipulate the geopolitical situation in the world…

As always in the western world, what you see on media, is not what is happening 95% of the time in the world.

You know what?

America is way past time for a civil war (Like in Ukraine – government, plus government sympathizers against real people (Rebels)) on her shores and just like in the last civil war in America between the North and South, other countries need to run weapons, supplies, food and other nice things to the Rebels” against the government in America and let the best side win…

It is time and if you are in America and stop just long enough to smell the coffee and look around while you smell that coffee, you may find that the American governmnet is gearing up for civil unrest and you are the target, just like I am, if you speak against the powers, who think they are gods…

Hide little bird, hide! For I see you are scared…

Or until the Empire collapses… (And as Britain found out, forever is a long time even when they collapsed!)

It is a no-brainer when it comes to Iraq and many other countries that the U.S. has interfered in. As I have written many times, “I am sure glad the war is over in Iraq!”

Now that the war is over and been over, we can get down to the business of spending the rest of our lives paying for interfering in a sovereign country and making it our business, for business reasons and killing America for a dollar…

We declared war over in Iraq and we never accomplished a damn thing, except to hunt one man down, using billions of dollars and building walls of concrete all over Baghdad, so that we could kill the civilians easier…

Obama goes on record over the new developments in Iraq as saying…
 
“The basic principal obviously is that we, like all nations, are prepared to take military action whenever our national security is threatened,” Says president Obama!
 
So it’s OK for USA to invade Iraq for our security?
Therefore, I guess it’s also OK for Russian to invade Ukraine for their security also?
 
Just stop talking Obama! You sounding more and more like the fool and puppet you are everyday!

By the way; this Iraq flare up coincides perfectly with the fact that Ukraine is using white phosphorous on her people in east Ukraine. This also is timed to cover the fact that 10’s of thousands of people are streaming across the border into Russia to escape being killed. Ukrainians are lucky, many have family in Russia and have a way to get into the country safely…

What is happening is exactly what a small percent of people want in the world. Destroy a country and own that country, only issue is that the majority of the people in the west, would prefer to have a stable better life themselves and not spending trillions of dollars trying to destroy the world at large. A world that never did a damn thing to them…

Well back to the business at hand, it is time to help blow up some more people in Iraq…

For somehow our security is threatened all the way to the great shores of the USA…

I had a grandmother that had a rough life. She, like many grandma’s of grouchy guys like me, lived through the depression times and did somethings that they would normally not do in life. I remember clearly a story that grandma would tell to me, many times over many years…

Always ask who, what, why and when…
 
When I was a young girl, I came upon a small town and it had a small town mayor. The mayor had big town desires and he hired me to work in his office. I was young and naive and I needed money. Well one thing lead to another and I being a single girl and infatuated with this Swedish Mayor of a small township near Kansas City, Mo. I became entangled with a married man, who had no intention of leaving his wife and kids, for a young tramp like me…
 
Long story short; I ended up pregnant, ostracized and left to die on the outskirts of the town. I ended up at a farm house with a man much older than I and he and his kids my age accepted me and he married me to give my kid a name and family…
 
The nice older man was named Alfred and he was a German from the old country. He had come to America, lost his wife in childbirth? and was raising kids alone and trying to work a farm, plus run a grocery store downtown Kansas City during the depression…
 
He taught me one thing before I learned anything else. Before you do anything, before you leap, before you speak, before you run, jump, climb, scream, dance and before you do anything at all. Ask yourself questions and ask questions of everyone around you. For while no particular answer is the key, the combinations of all answers, gives you the ability to make decisions in life…
 
This man (Your Grandpa, as she looked at me and said, “You are a spiting image of him!”) taught me to ask;
 
Who? What? Why? When?
 
After sometime had passed and I became comfortable at the farm. I asked some questions…
 
I asked “Who” are you?
I asked “What” are your intentions for the future?
I asked “Why” do you care?
I asked “When” do I have to leave?
 
Alfred (Grandpa) said, “I am a man from the old country (known back then as Germany.) I plan on letting you stay if you desire or leave if you feel strong enough. You may leave the child or keep the child, for you are an individual and have to stand on your own two feet! I care, as I care for all those I feed and know that I will never get paid back. I am a man who could not turn you away in the eyes of God. You never have to leave, but you must carry your weight, just as everyone else does…”
 
Therefore I stayed and in less than a year, I married Alfred, gave my baby girl a name and found myself in a family of Germans, who accepted me (Not without issues though!) and I raised his kids and mine, and we mostly were all the same age. I had one more child and she was, by the son of Alfred and that was interesting times for a few years…
 
Alfred was over 40 years older than I and with that, grandma ended the story as she did many times…

That story above is how a family like mine, full of Germans ended up with a Swedish member in the family. Grandma’s first born was from a man who had only several years before, came from Sweden…

Oh and yes, grandma was Swedish and that I figured out on my own and that was why the attraction in the first place to a Swedish Mayor of a little township called Raytown, Mo. many years ago…

I was taught by this same woman to ask, Who, What, Why and When…

Internet has been a interesting concept in the Russian Village, we have tried just literally every way to get connection and in the last few years we had 2G and it worked extremely slow but steady. Then Sveta found a coverage map for our area and we came upon the realization that 3G was about 100 meters down the hill from us and when they say, “The dark green area is 3G and it ends at the lake edge!” Then they are serious, it ended at the lake edge and 2G extended all the way into the deep dark woods behind us, for kilometers…

What to do? How to go from a snails crawl to a Jackalopes stride? Answer…

A Yagi external antennae and mount it on the outside of the building as high as you can reach, aim it at the local cell tower (somewhere in Siberia) and couple it to a internal mobile modem inside the home, with shielded low loss coaxial data cable and walla walla bing bang; steady three bar 3G Jackalope internet. For the less adventurous and idiots like me, just buy a special kit with everything included from the cell providers office…

Disclaimer; This is not in anyway a guarantee that it will work in another situation and in any location on earth. This is only tested by me and I can attest to the fact that it is able to pull a signal from as far away as Siberia, Russia (6000 to 7000 non-verified kilometers) to my cabin in the little village called Sunrise to Freedom. So your mileage may vary and in fact you may get no mileage at all as it is designed in a country that uses the metric system and kilometers would most likely be the best way to look at mileage…

Now a good question was, “How did you realize, that that you could do this simple act of magic to bring a signal in and have Siberian cell signal available?” And another good question is, “How did you aim the direction Yagi to such perfection?”

Simple, I studied the Cell Phone Payphone that they (government of Russia) installed in all the villages and they use a Yagi in our village to help the phone get reception. Then as the years went by I noticed that in the big villages, with good cell phone reception, they did not have these Yagi magic devices attached to the payphones. Then in a moment of clarity; It struck me that we can use an antennae also. For the payphone is 200 meters from the line of sudden cell phone death…

Then I looked at the payphone and determined the direction that they pointed the signal gathering device and when I realized it was approximately pointing at the planet Venus in the sky, I then had my coordinates and therefore, a signal to have internet with…

(I also had to try various positions until I found a happy spot and I found that spot after about 45 mosquitoes had drained my blood!)

It worked and for almost two days we have been playing with high speed internet and last night Sveta was a happy camper as she was able to get to her English learners and approve their applications…

I had just temporarily install the device to see if it would work and told Sveta, “I need to move it and we can make it better!” The look of horror on Sveta’s face, gave me the answer, she is happy and if I move it, she may be unhappy, for it works and works good enough to make my Sweetie very happy…

Now isn’t that what life is really about, “A Happy Sweetie!”

Last night I did my laundry and hung it up to dry. This morning, early, I am scrambling to gather that still slightly wet laundry and get it inside, the rain is pouring and my almost dry laundry is getting soaked. That is the state of affairs in my part of the world, how is yours…

Once again Sveta is the sleepy bug and Boza who is always following me (normally) like a little lost puppy, stays put under her side of the bed, until she gets up for the day. I find that interesting, that Boza changes his habits when Sveta is around…

When it is just him and I, if I get up at 5 am he will get up and be ready to chase the world. If Sveta comes into town, he ignores me, as I get up at 5 am. Oh he does not ignore me as per say, he just simply waits until Sveta wakes from her sleep of the dead, he watches me from his den under the bed and looks at me like I am crazy or something. I always wonder why I do not get that look, when she is gone?

Man’s best friend? I would say Woman’s best friend and fallback to man…

Therefore I sit sipping a coffee and writing this post after I scanned some news items and other tidbits of sad interesting information, items of happenings all over the world. One thing stood out to me and one thing told me the state of affairs in the USA…

Bodyguard™ blanket was specifically designed for two functions: (Link)
(1.) …as a bullet resistant body cover to protect against school incursions, and the weapons assailants commonly use.
(2.) …as a protective body cover to be used during tornadoes and damaging weather.

The link presented above is actually scary and if you stop to study the website, you should be worried about the state of affairs in the USA. Alarm bells that should wake people up from their slumber all over America. The simple fact that we would even have to conceive the idea that we need something to protect our children in a school against murderers, with guns, is beyond any comprehension on my part. If this is the case, then we are truly a lost society in the great US of A…

Band aids are not able to fix situations like above, what does fix the above is to get the moral structure back on track and quit allowing what we know is really wrong to rule from the sidelines of life…

In America a land where once I could carry a rifle in the back window of my pickup anywhere I would drive, big city or not, has become a country that feels it needs to have bullet proof blankets, backpacks, clothes and yes I have seen them; bullet proof book covers, to protect the children in school…

I see something; I see a world that as technology advances, society regresses and becomes morbid, sick and very strange. This has happened before in the history of the world and it is nothing new, so don’t worry, it will all start over again, when it reaches the crescendo…

Hence, I find that worrying about my laundry is what life is suppose to be about, but worrying about whether your kid(s) is (are) safe in school is what we have created life to be about, through our own repercussions of our lackadaisically attitudes, as we live our lives…

To be honest with you; The “Seven Deadly Sins” do matter, for those sins cover all the sins you can imagine, then some to boot…

We needed it, the plants needed it, the animals needed it, the dirt needed it and life needed it. What was so important? Rain, that is what we needed and yesterday we got it! Rain and rain and rain. Inches of beautiful ground watering, rain…

Before the rain came rolling in, in the form of a thunderstorm, it got hot and muggy. Sveta and I had just come back from town and while we drove, Sveta felt rain. I looked and the sky was almost cloudless as I realized that the humidity was screaming upwards from what had been the only saving grace at 25% or so. It was now approaching 100% and moisture was dropping out of the sky as it went upwards. This made a period of time of what I call, misery and it got bad for a very long time. Then in the distance, the rumbles of thunder wafted across the valley…

The clouds were so far away, that I just knew that they would pass us by, as they have done many times on this hillside. Then they billowed and grew as fast as you could just stare and watch. For if you looked away, they had tripled in size in a blink. With them came, “The rain…”

It clashed, it banged, it rumbled, it flashed, it shook, it blew, it broke things and it vibrated, but the most of all, it rained and rained and rained…

It filled our buckets, it filled the rivers, it filled the ponds and most of all it filled the earth around us. The animals can drink, the plants rejoiced and we found relief in the heat, as the rain passed through…

I laid down on the bed, as the rain fell and bounced off the tin roof of the village home across the road. It is a new roof and is metal, for most are not and they do not sound the same in the rain. Sveta laid down next to me and Boza was hiding under the bed. Then as the coolness and the sounds entered as pleasant thinking’s, we fell asleep…

So as I sit here this morning and still reap the benefits of yesterdays rain, I checked the next 10 days forecast and it will be much cooler, with chance of rain everyday…

When I was little, my grandfather taught me a different saying…

Rain, Rain, Come and Stay; For I will play another day…

Going to be a good day and I plan on BBQ’ing today…

It was, that now shan’t!

That sums up an America that had the sparrow by its tail and instead of doing good, it produced nothing but resentment for its very existence on this planet…

The coffee is really good this morning and as Sveta sleeps and dreams her village dreams, I sip a cup of coffee and write my thinking’s, this wonderful morning in the Russian village…

We do indeed live in a strange world. I look around me and see people that just want to survive and just want to get along. I see people all over the world that just need enough to fill their belly everyday and they ask for no more. The new joke on the block is, “Oh hey did you hear that America gave “Egypt” (Insert country of your choice in quotations) 4 billion dollars?” Answer, “Yes, but China had to cosign on the loan and the Statue of Liberty was given as collateral!”

What is now laughed at by a huge percent of the world, should be a very “No laughing matter!” by Americans…

It is no “conspiracy theory” when literally all things bad happening in the world lead directly back to the shores of the North American continent. It is no trite fullness when the populace of the world looks askance at the intermingling of a devious U.S. in world affairs, that are none of its business. What is even more awry is the basic fact that Americans show the world their, “Duh! What? Who? (shrug shoulders about now)” face, over news that the whole situation in Ukraine was started by the USA and that it is even compounded deeper and sadder, when you realize that Iraq, Libya, Syria, Vietnam and many others are just simulates, repeated and failed manifestations of a deluded administration of a overwrought country of hasbeens…

Therefore, it is no fault but of its (US) own accord, when a country (Russia) that in the past is so blinded against Americans shenanigans,  from the gold and star dust in her eyes , that she even turns on America and looks away!

I have watched it first hand and believe me, if Russia does not trust America anymore, then there is no one left in the world to trust America and the paid lackeys, such as Britain, do not count…

I have watched as the U.S. has destroyed the relationship with Russia, a relationship that survived the horrors of a U.S. intervention in the past with Yeltsin and Gorbachov. A relationship that has always been one of wow and well wished on the Russian side. I have watched that relationship crumble and become a serious issue that did not need anyone on the Russian side to instigate. For Russia just had to stop ignoring the truth about America and that was the extra rope that has helped hang America in Russian eyes…

The rose colored glasses just fell off and broke…
