Not surprising but sad really as wars heat up in our world; Russia is using North Korean soldiers (not mercenaries, actually military of another belligerent country) to fight in Ukraine. To me a line is crossed, anything goes now and it is Russia, as usual, in their greedy land stealing way trying to commit genocide against the Ukrainian people because they do not want to be Russian; they already have a citizenship that suits them. But it is all one person, a dictator, the psychopathic Nazi Putin and his enablers and how did he become a dictator? One might ask. People let him do it; they gradually gave up their freedoms for his smiles and promises of a better life. All the while he turned the police services of the country against their own people which is unbelievable that anyone would think it was okay to beat the youth of a country just for disagreeing. He did it with his smiles and promises of a better life. He failed Russia; dictators always do that look at what Hitler did to Germany. At the end Hitler hated the Germans for not winning the war for him and he put the German children on the walls of Berlin to defend the city - what a sick coward.
As for Iran, they deserve anything that Israel hits them with but I agree Israel should not attack the nuclear facilities or the oil facilities because of the environmental damage not because I feel any sympathy for Iran. They are a Satanist country dedicated to the eradication of everyone that isn't born Muslim in this world. Are you listening Russia? Eventually evil turns on everything that doesn't do exactly what it wants.
This is secular thanksgiving celebrated every year in Canada on the second Monday in October. Generally the trees have all changed colour and it is beautiful out there but this year the trees are still green somewhat; starting to change but not nearly as far along as usual. The seasons have definitely changed. Is it forever or will we return to our usual succession of the seasons? Hard to say I guess; life has changed drastically since I was a young child but in some ways the weakness of man has returned as they take to the battlefield attacking their neighbours. The sickness that seems to be part of the makeup of some of the world population once again brings the world to the brink of annihilation. Russia threatening with nuclear weapons knowing the use of them is their own demise but it is called a bully standoff here (interesting really). Retaliation is swift and sweet and for those who wait for the Apocalypse a hint of seeing God and Jesus and the Holy Word incarnate in one God once again. That idea dominates part of the American culture and is seen in movies and music time and time again.
Yesterday the second powerpoint project was started and consists of converting the family photo albums into presentations. These albums represent our life as a family starting back in the mid 1960s and continuing right up until the early 2000s. You can tell when we went anywhere and any special family activities that occurred throughout that time frame. I know that Edward loving putting them together and the girls when they were young would sit with him whilst he did that. But they are cumbersome and the way we live nowadays doesn't really make it practical to maintain the storage area that they require. That was why, of course, Edward stopped making them around 2002. Or perhaps he was sad that his eldest had gone off to do her PhD and his youngest was half way through university. They weren't his adoring little daughters who worshiped his every move at least it probably didn't feel like that. When they were here they were very attentive to him which he loved but that was not quite so frequent these days and when he retired his best friend became the bunny that he actually didn't really want us to buy. But after I went off to work each day they would spend the day together and he rather got attached to that bunny - Peter Rabbit. Finally after eight years the bunny attached himself to Edward as well having during the preceding time mostly avoided him but would jump on his papers just to annoy him I think.
So today is a special day and a special meal usually in my youth. It was always a family gathering with so many people there when I was young and until I married and after as we came with our food donation to spend the day with my parents and siblings and their offspring (and ours). It will be Chicken Stew, my favourite, and I shall share the dinner time on Skype with my daughter.
No work on the Siderfin book yesterday but will do that this afternoon likely. This morning cleaning day and it is the basement. I want to continue moving the summer shoes over to the rack that I brought in for that purpose. Today I shall clean the wooden bookcases of stuff just to keep the dust down. Must get outside and do some work; a little more frost perhaps and then the cutting down can begin.
