Часть 8. 21 июля – 28 июля 1942   Река Л.                        21.00                 21.7.42 Родная моя! Только что получил твое письмо, в котором ты пишешь, что папа прислал деньги, и думаешь, что он умер. Не может этого быть, просто он накопил эти деньги и прислал маме, как он делал это и раньше, когда мама у него бывала. Но на всякий случай пошли туда запрос на имя администрации, чтобы сообщили, они обязаны ответить. Маму и Нину подбодри, а то ведь я знаю их характер быстро впадать в панику и придумывать всякие ужасы и страхи. Я не верю, чтобы это могло случиться. Не может этого быть. И не теряйте головы, и не расстраивайте сами…

Lift Your Table ® TM Risers Lifts STRAIGHT LEG KIT – $35 Install table legs without any tools It started as an absolute necessity.  I worked so many hours in a single two weeks stretch (Monday, September 8 – Friday, September 19, 2014) that I simply could not sit anymore.  But I still had to work.  So I placed couple of cardboard boxes on my desk and raised my working space by 1.5 ft.  It was ugly, but it carried me through first several weeks.   Next step was to make it a bit prettier.   This time a coffee table landed on my office desk, and it brought some semblance of…

05-27 12;17 Not a porcelain

07:20 wake up and put on dry socks and dry boots. Second breakfast of fallen birches – cantaloupe from Walmart cut by machete. 08:55 depart of an “excursion” number 2.  I did not even take paper map with me – there is everything on iPhone GPS topo maps. Today’s trip is much more interesting because every step is a discovery.   09:45 Get lost in beaver ponds.  No wonder my feet are wet.  Mt. Crescent (most likely) is visible on the background. 09:46 Somewhere here used to be a path or even a road       10:30 Something like a former road visible. Take a little break.  Instead of going…

This fix was tested with Windows XP Pro SP3 with Office 2003 SP3 and McAfee AntiVirus Plus. Finally.   Finally I found a solution for this really scary-looking error message that was bugging me since 12/24.  Marry Christmas! Description of a Problem Every time you restart you PC you see a very unpleasant Warning Event ID 516 in your system event log from mfehidk. This is the very last system message before computer reboots or goes to sleep. Process **\MCSHIELD.EXE pid (864) contains signed but untrusted code, but was allowed to perform a privileged operation with a McAfee driver. What is Causing it? It appears that most people (and I join them) …

Looking for a Vegan Doctor in Boston Area

Vegan-Lifestyle

As we get sophisticated about our health, we get more demanding about our doctors. Switching to a vegan lifestyle is challenging enough. Why finding the right doctor should be that hard? How can a doctor help a vegan patient with all the questions, if he or she doesn’t practice a healthy lifestyle? Why am I looking for a vegan doctor? I found that vegan doctors are far ahead of the bunch in medical field.  Vegan doctors don’t tell you to “eat meat and drink milk”. They understand that vegan lifestyle is an ultimate answer to most of your health problems. They do not need to be explained not to prescribe deadly…

Rain all night, but I am dry in the tent.  Raindrops from the trees still pounding on the tarp, but earplugs softening the noise. 05:55 Awake, but it is raining. Decided to continue to sleep Very slow morning – no reason to venture out while it is raining. 07:55 Wake up, but it is till raining. Decision is to wake up anyway and eat cantaloupe. Melon stated behind in the car.  I know, I am roughing it in the wild. My tarp is leaking and water was accumulating all night on the lower good tarp that serves as a floor in front of the tent. It is very unpleasant to put…
