Terror in Beverly Hills


How times have changed! Beverly Hills was the world's most elegant neighborhood, where very rich and famous people had their residences. TV police series were made on that glamorous place and its blonde millionaire residents. See pic. Not these days: a famous woman - Jacqueline Avant - "was shot and killed early Wednesday by an intruder at her home in Beverly Hills. The police chief confirmed that a security guard was at the home at the time of the incident, and was unhurt. Police received a call at 2:23 a.m. Wednesday indicating that someone had been shot in the 1100 block of Maytor Place, in the Trousdale Estates area." From Variety.

 Today the grandkids came for candle lighting and singing. Six energetic, noisy little savages. I took the day off.

Indoctrination

 

Hanuka, November 2021. Ella and a boy with long hair. 

Tel Aviv has been ranked the world’s most expensive city to live in


Yet people are dying to live in Tel Aviv. It is difficult to find a place to rent or to buy. I always wonder why things are so cheap in London, etc. Illustration: Brain density in Tel Aviv.

KABALAT SHABAT

 

ELLA gets religion. The boy seems more interested in the cake.

Incurable Idiot (me)

 


An important Client asked me to prepare a submittal plan for the Municipality. It is the house of his brother-in-law. The contractor did not follow the instructions and the sewage pipes are all UNDER the building, without any protection. PE pipes expand and contract, so it is sure to break in a few years at most. Somebody made a big mistake. I prepared a sensible plan hoping that it will be approved and the "broch" will be kicked into the foggy future. I said I'll do it for free, cannot charge this young couple and the even less the Client. 

I know. I am a sucker!

Pacing myself

 I worked three nights and days on the Hachsharat Hayishuv, Bnei Brak, project. I mailed the design yesterday night. This morning at 0630, changes were waiting for me on Whatsapp, but I let them be. The service center I'm working on for the last three years was finally signed by Valery of the Ministry of Health. I wasted more time on Twitter, hypnotized by interesting sex-hungry girls. I took the day off.
