Moscow Nights kicks ass. And the audience, not one criminal hairstyle was noticed 😁

You will not find a single anti-Israel comment in any of the big German news outlets.Cheering on the current massacres is fine,however.Laws that will turn any criticism of the whore government into a criminal offence,are being prepared.But I fooled them by getting banned everywhere beforehand,he..he..As soon as allied press sovereignty over Germany expires,I will give them hell,though,in 2099.You watch me.

The Russians were a wonderful treat - thank you. And i have been wondering who Taxi is. A sad aspect of our lives that are only linked electronically is that we do not get to learn of acquaintance's fates. Tom Herzog, anyone? Wanted, dead or alive.

Hi, Linh. Does this Taxi friend you mention run a blog? I have read a few entries on a "Taxi" website whose owner wrote passionately (and prophetically) about the impending doom of Israel. I've lost the link, and "taxi" is useless as a search term for obvious reasons.

Hi R.K. Naryan,

Taxi had a blog, Plato's Guns, that was a great source for news on Lebanon and Palestine. It went dead around the beginning of 2023, and has since been scrubbed. The last time I talked to Taxi was via Skype in 2022. We communicated via emails a few times after that, but she hasn't returned my emails or Skype messages in at least a year and half.

In 2000, I stayed at her property in southern Lebanon for two months. She couldn't have been a more generous hostess. It's not like her to ignore my emails. I'm not even sure she's alive.

It was definitely Plato's Guns.

"Pseudo Christians are also helping Jews to massacre real Christians in Lebanon."

Oh how I wish you'd use the term for these people that I coined: McChristians. 'Pseudo Christians' just doesn't express enough contempt.

How were the oysters?

Best ever. Come to town to gobble them! Shrimps here are particularly fantastic, and there's that smoked veal I told you about. Odesa in the autumn is great but it's time you head back this way!--Linh

I wonder if Matthew was thinking of Big Mountain. I did the big 3 on Christmas day 2020. Big, small and Jesus was the route. Nearly killed by 63 year old feet as I recall. Even had to take a taxi back from Jesus as I couldn't take another step. The cold beers at VFB tasted extra good after that!

Yes Vi Ba mountain is usually named Big Mountain. Vi Ba is the name of the road that goes up the mountain, and is sometimes used for the mountain. Small Mountain features the lighthouse and the Jesus statue.

Hi Linh. Thanks for the mention. I haven't had much opportunity to walk up Vi Ba mountain myself recently. Very busy with work and family. I've taken up jogging so let me know if you fancy a run sometime. I'll find sometime soon to hang out at the Coc Coc and analyze Jewish thinking. Shanah Tova!

Just saw your post...Vi Ba mountain. I did it every Sunday for 2 years. Miss it now as the hills around KL have too much traffic and off piste is just too muddy or has river crossings to deal with.

Sorry to hear. I've heard that for a large city KL is very livable, but I'm not surprised that it is difficult to escape in nature there. The natural setting of Vung Tau is not extensive, but after 11 years living in Saigon it is like paradise for me.
