I am designing two projects in the HaArbaa street of Tel Aviv. Very old buildings, with large basements to function as antiair refuges. I have to complete them today and I feel tired, sick and stressed. People call me and I am so confused that don't remember who they are and what did I promise them. I have to slow down a bit.
Life imitates Art. Meghan Markle looks seriously like the heroine of the popular game. She has no extreme racial identity, she could be almost anything. May be the future will be peopled by them.
The latest news in the chess world is that Russia has lost in dominant position and China is the new champion. The Chinese were never very good in chess, while the Russians ruled since ever. What happened? I imagine that Russian domination was based on Jewish brains, and now that the most Jews have left Russia, well, I do not have to spell it out.
Yesterday Roman Abrahamovich, the Russian Jewish tycoon, an associate of Vladimir Putin, was kicked out of England and he asked for an Israeli passport. As a Jew, he has the automatic right to Israeli citizenship. I hope he brings his yacht (pic) and his money and that the rest of Russian Jews will follow him.
I slept very badly tonight, every hour I had to go to the bathroom, and could not take my mind off of my Tofu - soy milk factory project in Netivot. The city has received several missiles from Gaza but what really worried me is that I had submitted an Autocad file full of errors. Now I am going to work on it. I have several urgent projects and I am late on them.The pic must be an illustration.
The Beatles's song about old age, from a time when sixty four was "old age" and unlovable per definition. Having reached 64 and many more, I feel that the song is is not right, sixty four is not old. Well, it was written by McCarthy when he was 15, an age when even a girl of twenty is considered old. I sure was of that opinion. But times have changed... ....for good. The Apollo Club below is a male choir in Minneapolis. Shockingly "privileged" Northern European faces, you don't see such pics anymore in the media. Hear! no one said "Fuck" even once. Look! no one is caressing his genitals nor pushing forward his pelvis. Most unusual in today's popular music scene.
Morocco, a leading Arab country, has broken its diplomatic relations with the Persian regime. Interestingly, I have not read that it was the love of Israel that made the Moroccans to throw out the ayatollahs. Even the Persians did not suggest that Morocco is obeying Zionist dictates (The say the relations are normal). The French daily Le Monde writes:
« Il peut s’agir d’une volonté de rendre
la politesse à Washington après le geste américain en faveur du Maroc
dans le cadre de la dernière résolution sur le Sahara occidental, tout
cela dans un contexte où les tensions régionales et locales sont
exacerbées et poussent partout à des reconfigurations. »
that is, Iran is arming the Polisario rebels (pic), an act considered unfriendly by the Moroccans. I recognize my beloved 23 mm WWII Russian antiair gun in the pic.
"Years of low interest rates have manipulated the stock market higher and
created an imbalance that is disproportionate relative to the general
economy. When the market does get hit with another crisis or bear
market, it's going to be more painful than normal given its relative
size to the economy. We are in bubble territory."
Since TASE (Tel Aviv Stock Exchange) has fallen 20% behind NASDAQ, since we are considered a geopolitical risk, should we have a quiet year, we are bound to recoup the gap and more. I was always optimist, but in the last two weeks I was attacked by doubt and vacillation. Old age is no picnic.
