Tuesday, November 15th 2022 It’s already 8:30 in the morning. Very late start today. I actually slept pretty well last night. I was up and down a couple of times but nothing brutal. They say tomorrow we are going below zero for the first time and according to the weather service, we will stay there… Continue reading

Monday, November 14th 2022 Yet, the war goes on. However, I believe the general feeling, if it’s not absolute specific knowledge, is that the entire special military operation might have been the greatest mistake the Russians have made since wasting all of the money of the Soviet Union in Afghanistan. Some people never learn. Zelinsk… Continue reading

Sunday, November 13th 2022. Week 45 Good morning. It’s probably a little early to be getting up on a Sunday morning. It’s a quarter after 5:00. And even more reason not to do anything, it’s raining and cold and everybody knows that Belarusians don’t like to work in the rain.  Look, straight away I got… Continue reading

Friday, November 11th 2022 It’s weird looking at that date being written. I’m exactly one week away from my ending date. It feels crazy to actually arrive here. Today is Friday, today is prep day for my day off but after this, just six more days. It’s really early on Friday morning and as expected,… Continue reading

The election process is dragging so I’m assuming there’s a lot of behind the scenes nonsense going on. As of the moment, we exactly have a divided Senate although I hear something… Continue reading

Wednesday, November 9th 2022 Rachel Maddow puts things into perspective as usual. The Dems participated in early voting and mail ends and the Republicans like the circus of voting day. I think it might be a matter of feeling the crowd versus understanding one’s Civic duty. When you are in a large group of people,… Continue reading

Tuesday, November 8th 2022 It’s election day in America. I’m saying that now but we have a long, long way to go on this. First of all, it’s just election day right now because on the east coast of the United States, we have just ticked past midnight. Here, it’s 7:30 a.m. and I am… Continue reading

Monday, November 7th 2022 Seriously, of all of the videos that get produced in and around our relationship with the Russians or Eastern Europeans or the business, military or social ideas flying around, I think I like this guy the best. It’s the most straightforward and the most honest. Nothing here is staged, he doesn’t… Continue reading

Sunday, November 6th 2022. Week 44 It’s a quarter to four on a rainy Sunday morning. I’m watching game 6 of the World Series and thinking about cleaning up. I am expecting my ex partner today but possibly also an important guest. I don’t absolutely know about whether this gift is going to show up… Continue reading

Friday, November 4th 2022 It’s really only 8:00 on Thursday evening. But I want to make sure that this is the first thing I post today. I think we should all enjoy watching this video. Also this from the Barents Observer: U.S aircraft flew Norwegian airspace on surveillance mission outside Russia’s nuclear sub bases Norway’s… Continue reading
