By all that's holy, have some sense!

These people must be wealthy. That's all I can figure. Why, otherwise, would you attempt to repopulate certain small countries all on your own, and how would you also have the freedom to school them in your probably crazy ways while you do it???

Now, I know I come from a large family, but there are large families and then there are people who like to imitate rabbits. Which are prey animals, and not really known for their cunning except when it comes to finding ways to steal from people's gardens. I'm just saying.

Yay-we own the Moon!

This is the third in a series of posts on my friend's blog (to which I occasionally send articles, and which is actually translated and read around the world in several different languages, go fig!) on the ridiculousness of Russia's recent...globalization policy.

BTW-the blog is Eternal Remont, and there is a link to the right over there...

Argh!

So, I know I haven't been posting lately, and I even have a birthday to report on, but I've been a bit busy with wedding planning.

Speaking of which.

Yeah. This is another reason why we are NOT getting married this weekend. Craziness!

If any of you get us luck-themed gifts I may start hurling them at the walls of the winery at the reception in hopes of breaking them. Unless they are very clever and well thought out (not that any of those in the article above are...) in which case I will treat them with the respect they deserve for that reason.

Not that we don't want luck, or a happy, long and fruitful marriage, but we EMPHATICALLY do not need European designed Lucky Shot Glasses. We need a Framed Four Leaf Clover even less.

Thank you.

What the...?

I often wake up in the morning with a fairly good outlook on the day ahead.

Then I read about things like this....and I wonder whether, indeed, today IS the day that i should start shopping for that remote mountain peak away from everybody.

Edited to add:

The death toll has now reached about 32 people. My thoughts and wishes go out to all those affected by this tragedy!
