i'm somewhat sure they weren't available in Stalin's days, at least not in the soviet union...

in this case i'd be curious about a tutorial... brass (probably) won't work well in "my" obscene tropical humidity, but aluminium or stainless steel should do for a tinderbox (without the lens in the lid)...

buildings around here don't have numbers, except a bunch of houses in the nearby village (supposedly for sla... eerrhh... workers for the banana mafia) which have 3digit 00 numbers... 007 had for a while a lot of cops hanging around... not sure if that story is true, but i remember reading...

huh?! did someone just call me?!

unfortunately no stills (=camera was set to take short vidoes...) and i'm still too technically challenged to attach pictures to my posts :-(

the puppies (see my previous posts) are growing and doing well :-) this morning one of our chooks was missing when i opened the coop and no trace of an intruder... the mystery was solved when i saw a ca. 5ft long boa with a suspicions lump outside...(despite my local reputation the boa wasn't...

that looks like a non-venomous species?! last night i encountered a fer-de-lance on the footpath and dispatched it about 4m from the puppies' nighttime box... .it was about 4ft long and tasted great :P ; today's only encounter was a male basilisk (a.k.a. "jesus christ lizard" as they can run on...

i still miss her (5years in august she went missing), i had folks asking me for years afterwards what happened to her but never found out... in 2012 i rescued a puppy in south korea from ending in a soup pot (i came too late for her two siblings but later pointed the bone (==a form of...

two day ago i saw my first juvenile neotropical otter, which is even more surprising given the fact that the river is higher than usual again... four weeks ago i had a different animal encounter: i was on my way to my WiFi spot when i found a bag in our entrance. i picked it up thinking someone...

i have eaten local rodent species who made the mistake of invading my cabin -- meat tasted like rabbit (before anyone tries at home: rodents can carry diseases, so only try with healthy (looking) ones and cook well!)

ratatouille...

somewhat unrelated to rats, but a few years ago our neighbor's horse died under somewhat mysterious circumstances (he presumed poisoning): there were loads of vultures attracted to the carcass BUT they didn't touch it, not even his psychopathic dogs went for a bite (and i've seen them kill and...

climate wise i'm not complaining and nobody cares in the countryside that i've a machete on my belt, but moneywise i'm living a hand-to-mouth existence and would have left long time ago if i'd the means or a place to go :-(

not too many seashells along the coast here (=flat and sandy) and i'm not aware of anyone looking for edible ones (meaning if there would be any the locals would get them), only blue crabs -- during mating season they run around on the coastal highway to be collected in bags or squashed by...
