It is time to wander to Ukraine. I have my new passport and now I need to take both, the old one with a visa and the new one, to the Russian consulate in Ukraine. It will be as always interesting to cross the border, since I get to see how Ukraine treats people as they travel. Last time it was really atrocious…
I hope Kiev has gotten a bit of common sense back, but I seriously doubt it….not with elections coming up. It should be interesting to see the Yulia supporters running around. I have been there and seen that…
Got my train tickets: Yes, I 90% of the time travel by train. Yes, it confuses Russians as much as Americans. But it really is the best way to travel around Russia and you get to see real Russian society and that is cool to say the least… (Remember I say, “Moscow is not Russia.” and I know…)
Therefore, March 2nd, 2019 I take off from Moscow and get to go play in Kiev, Ukraine…
I get to retire one more passport full of stamps for a dozen countries. A old passport (If you use it!) is history for its owner. Don’t use it? Then you have history of being stuck in the mud, as they say. Mine is nice and full. If I did not have to renew my passport, I would have had to get more pages put in it…
I realized today that I have four passports now as history of my travels…
It has been a warm winter. Okay, it is by Russian standards. About every ten years we have a warm winter here. Okay, I know, the snow is flying today, it is -12 below and the wind is whipping the snot out of everyone and mothers have ropes tied to their kids and fly them like a kite to school… 😉
And it is Spring Time…really it is…
Thought you would find this interesting….Frozen Putin…
Putin is a traditional leader and he does a good job to honor the traditions of Russia which is a great country…
Trump is correct many times, yet he is also a typical ignorant American: But now you know how far behind the US is in normal technology world wide… and you understand that we have been trying to stifle the competition by illegal means… (Par Huawei, ex…)
I want 5G, and even 6G, technology in the United States as soon as possible. It is far more powerful, faster, and smarter than the current standard. American companies must step up their efforts, or get left behind. There is no reason that we should be lagging behind on………

Now for the continuation of the above…
….something that is so obviously the future. I want the United States to win through competition, not by blocking out currently more advanced technologies. We must always be the leader in everything we do, especially when it comes to the very exciting world of technology!

The USA should have been doing just that 50 years ago. Instead of taking the quick buck and running amuck. That is what happens when you spend all your time playing war games and not working on investing inside the country… Sad really…
My thought: Now the USA will have to copy
stealChinese tech to get caught up! Will we badmouth ourselves for doing just that?
Trump really is between a rock and a hard place, but that is American politics and that sucks. Trump either cleans out the scum and or becomes the scum also. Looks like scum is winning…
