“I think it’s a failure because #Putin was again talking about #security #concerns and used his #usual #rhetoric,” said Oleksandr Merezhko, a #Ukrainian #politician. “I don’t see any changes.”

Rain and Serendipity
Reading Time: 2 minutes
It often rains for the entire rain of Caribana and this makes me happy. It makes me happy because when I complained to them about their noise pollution two or three years ago they gave me a boiler plate answer instead of doing something about it.
I am currently staying away from my home until Sunday morning because I know that to stay home would drive me nuts. From what I see the Caribana is an event with just 6000 patrons or so, and yet they play the music so loud that it is impossible for me to do anything without hearing it from 18:00 - 03:00 from Wednesday night to Sunday morning.
When I was trying to cope with pandemic solitude and COVID isolation this was especially unpleasant. It was a reminder of the way in which parts of society preferred to get back to "normal" than eradicate COVID. In Switzerland an extra month of self-isolation would have got us to COVID zero.
It's raining now, and it's cold. It's cold enough for t-shirts to be hidden by warmer layers. It's the type of weather that makes you happy not to make plans. Walking in light rain is fine, but walking in heavy sustained rain is less pleasant.
In theory this afternoon I will see one or two relaxed bike rides being offered. At the moment I doubt that these rides will take place. It's not that we're made of sugar, and it's not that we'll melt. It is that if we get soaked we may get cold.
This evening I will go to the Chateau de Pampigny to watch a play. I didn't realise it was outdoors until after I had committed. If it rains it will definitely be an experience. My concern is the cold, rather than the rain.
As I write this the sun is coming out so I might grab the opportunity for a walk.
And finally, I don't mind that events are held, but I do mind that they take away my freedom to sleep when I want to sleep, and when they invade my privacy with noise pollution. If Caribana re-designed their sound system then I would have nothing negative to think about the event. I fled, so that I may complain about the event less.

A quotation from Josh Billings
Mankind ain’t apt tew respekt verry mutch what they are familiar with, it iz what we don’t know, or kant see, that we hanker for.
[Mankind ain’t apt to respect very much what they are familiar with; it is what we don’t know, or can’t see, that we hanker for.]Josh Billings (1818-1885) American humorist, aphorist [pseud. of Henry Wheeler Shaw]
Everybody’s Friend, Or; Josh Billing’s Encyclopedia and Proverbial Philosophy of Wit and Humor, ch. 156 “Affurisms: Embers on the Harth” (1874)Sourcing, notes: wist.info/billings-josh/76244/

A quotation from Nassim Nicholas Taleb
I don’t particularly care about the usual. If you want to get an idea of a friend’s temperament, ethics, and personal elegance, you need to look at him under the tests of severe circumstances, not under the regular rosy glow of daily life. Can you assess the danger a criminal poses by examining only what he does on an ordinary day? Can we understand health without considering wild diseases and epidemics? Indeed the normal is often irrelevant.
Nassim Nicholas Taleb (b. 1960) Lebanese-American essayist, statistician, risk analyst, aphorist

Dear Bummed in New Haifa,
Even though we all know we live in a diverse society, it can come as a surprise when someone doesn’t celebrate the #usual #holidays that everyone else loves!
Have you shared with this co-worker that there are many people of all different #religions who put up holiday #candelabras to enjoy the #season of #lights, even if they aren’t #religious?
3/5

This "Magnificent Tree Frog" actually likes to live among rocks; whatevs. Discovered in western Australia's far north on a sanctuary, these frogs have yellow & blue skin tones but the yellow is inhibited, making the entire surface blue. It's totally cool, I get it, but why aren't we hearing more about where they get their little toupees?

It seems that my OneDrive is about to be deleted. Apparently all my files are still there and I just need to log in to reactivate it.
Er... What files? I've never used it. Ever. I purposely disabled it to stop the annoying popups.
