The Russians are coming! The Russians are coming!

     Unless you have been living in a cave you will now know that Vlad has been up to no goodinski. After months of posturing and building up troops in the lands surrounding Ukraine they have crossed the border into some "dispured" territory to assist as peacekeepers. And if you believe that I have land north of Thompson for sale. 

     Today is the Oma-nator's 89th birthday. And we are all happy that she is here with us. Nuff said.

     The Ruskies are closing on Kiev. The Ukrainians are fighting back. They took out an airbase inside Russia with a ballistic missile attack. But realistically they are outdated and outgunned. As they are not a NATO country NATO cannot step in and assist under Article 5 of the Charter. It's  crying shame to watch as the bad guys are closing in and nothing but sanctions have been applied. Too little too late and Vlad doesn't give a rat's ass because he is looking to recreate the USSR that he grew to love as a young KGB spud. Of course no one has the intestinal fortitude to call him on his actions because they'll be carted off to the Gulag as quick as you can say borscht three times. In fact, Ruskie citizens did take to the streets in the thousands to protest what their Dum-ass  government was doing and nearly 2000 were "detained" for their actions. Film at 11.

     In a discussion about the situation, a friend of mine posited this, if you were king what would you do? I said that I would have a couple of hunter killer subs make their way into the Black Sea and plot a target on every Ruskie vessel and once NATO joined the fray put every one of them on the bottom and then surface the sub and launch the cruise missiles before slipping away.

     We have snow. Not a lot. Just enough to piss us off.

     We were watching the Amazing Sweat Your Hole Off. The competitors were in Dolmades Land fighting to be in the final three. One team was headed to the next objective - he was driving and she was looking at the map like a monkey doing algebra. That's when I heard the standard You-All complaint .... "Why can't they print the map in English?" 

     Uh, because you're in Dolmades Land so it's printed in Dolmadic! 

     The other common comment is..."Why don't you speak 'Merican so I'se can understand ya?"

     I had to repair the kitchen sink tap. Sous Irene said it was dripping. Who am I to complain. I got to work with tools and drive around town aimlessly looking for parts, both of which are manly pursuits. No, I didn't invite the Couch Monkey's along. I have neither the time nor the crayons to explain things to them anymore.
