A Busy Two Weeks
October 26, 2020
My Eater Egg Fleet Book has been taking up most of my time recently. It will be officially released on November 1st. But that isn’t all I’ve been doing. I put in a lot of time on planning and preparing for a new book about my family (fathers side). I’ve had my regular chores: laundry, … More A Busy Two Weeks

Keeping Busy
October 7, 2020
I just noticed how long it has been since I put up a new post. There are lots of reasons. The main one is that I’ve been very busy. I finally got a finished version of my Easter Egg Fleet book and sent it to the printers. The proof version came back and I discovered … More Keeping Busy

When the COVID19 crisis started Israel appeared to be one of the countries that was handling it effectively. No More! The latest figures show that our infection rate per 1000 population is right up there with the leaders, Brazil and America. Yesterday we had over 6700 new cases. In my little village (estimated population about … More At the TOP
Here We Go Again
September 15, 2020
At the end of this week the entire country of Israel is returning to lockdown status. It isn’t going to be the same as the first time. There are a few differences. But overall, the meaning is the same. Israel was one of the first countries to do this the first time around. Then, when … More Here We Go Again

First, there are 4 small coastal tankers that were acquired … More Some Scratch Built Support Ships From My Collection
And Meanwhile, In the Arab World…
September 7, 2020
We’re very preoccupied with Corona virus. It seems the rest of the world is, too. Nobody hears much from India or Iran or Turkey. They’re busy with the virus. But there are other Arab countries around us that have different things on their minds. The United Arab Emirates are on their way to making a … More And Meanwhile, In the Arab World…
We’re Having a Heat Wave
August 31, 2020
I saw Northern Europe was unseasonably hot last week. Now it’s our turn. We live in the Judean Mountains about 18km south of Jerusalem. We’re also a little over 900 meters above sea level, and usually quite dry. Tel Aviv, on the coast of the Mediterranean, is very humid. When they have temperatures of 30 … More We’re Having a Heat Wave
Distorting Democracy
August 25, 2020
I moved to Israel from the United States. Both countries claim to be democracies and have periodic elections. They are quite different. The basic premise for each is that the majority rules. Both, however, are concerned with the corollary the the majority can only rule effectively by preserving the rights of the minorities. In America … More Distorting Democracy
