    A Siberian Lesson

    Something enlightening happened to me along the tracks of the Trans-Siberian. Awaiting departure from Sverdlovsk station, I was in my seat, reading an English-translated copy of 'Crime and Punishment'. Gratifyingly, I discovered the 1938 edition inside a used bookshop in Yekaterinburg. I was...

    [Previously...] Later… [Still at] Tarragon, St. Paul’s Bay, Malta For the rest of the meal, she was quiet. The food came and went, and both of them declined dessert. Chase because he didn’t like them and his guest, well, because she wasn’t feeling it. He was terrible with smalltalk, so he...

    Was invited to my local Rotary club, where we had a Professor from Ukraine talk about what it's like being stuck in the war with Russia.

    ((IRL: Just checking in... limited internet at ma's place... my cell phone is the modem, basically. I am poking around online to see if there is a way to get them an internet connection through the ACP (they didn't get a tablet or anything beyond their cell through Assurance, were previously through QLink)... ma gets foodstamps and SSI and Medicare (the one for elderly), stepdad gets SSI and Medicaid... what I'm trying to figure out is a cheap (ideally free) way to get them internet... I can handle the network issues and all that (nerd here), just seem to remember there was a way to do regular internet through something))
