Hello ~turboblack,
for weeks I have been eyeballing your post. Let's say, I am very ashamed, that the worlds current leaders see warfare as an appropriate means to something. I believed, that the world had moved on --- but no.
When this all started, I met a young lady on the train, I said, she could leave her luggage at the place, because I was leaving after two stops. She looked at me with big tired eyes and said something like "nje panimaju". My brain needed hours to uncover my old russian to translate this to "I don't understand". The war in Ukraine had met "me" in this moment. I could not say "Welcome, and good luck!". A young lady, deprived of the future that had laid before her only weeks ago. What a scandal.
Well, I wish you well being and health and some "independence of your mind", or something such. In my opinion it is allowed to return to your little escapes every so often, to help you not going mad. The same way I go the the archery site every week to teach the newcomers how to fly arrows. For a few hours as a mental escape.
Good luck!
~bartender? Maybe just coffee with cream and sugar? Thanks.
