Did my shopping at Shetler's. Among other things, I bought 32 cans of Friskies for 48 cents a can. I also bought 24 calzone for 2 for a buck. 8 ounce and frozen. Each should be a meal. Would have bought more if I had freezer space.
I am getting lazy for dinner. A few months ago Shetler's got cases and cases of 15 ounce cans of sardines in tomato sauce with hot sauce. Was not as popular as they hoped. The sold them for 50 cents a can. I tried them. Not too bad if cooked in rice. So I bought a case and got the 10% case discount. I bought a rice cooker. So now I will start. Sardines over rice.

Fielding a powerful new ballistic missile that could strike as far away as Moscow, Ukraine is about to solve a vexing military problem.
Ukraine’s Hrim-2 missile is nearly ready for action, Yehor Chernev, the chairman of Ukraine’s delegation to NATO, said recently.
“Believe me, there will soon be concrete results that not only Ukraine but also the Russian Federation will see,” Chernev said.
The Hrim-2 is a single-stage, solid-fuel ballistic missile that can carry an 1,100-pound warhead as far as 310 miles, presumably under inertial guidance. It represents a major step up from Ukraine’s best current battlefield rocket – the 1970s-vintage Tochka.
KB Pivdenne, a missile-maker in Dnipro, in eastern Ukraine, has been working on the Hrim-2 for a decade. It was a low priority in the years before Russia widened its war on Ukraine starting in February 2022: funding was a constant problem.

Moldovan authorities have accused Russia of extensive interference in the country’s elections, alleging actions aimed at influencing the vote’s outcome. Stanislav Sekrieru, national security adviser to President Maia Sandu, highlighted “massive Russian interference” as a significant threat to the integrity of the election process.
One key example cited by Sekrieru involved the organized transport of voters from the breakaway region of Transnistria. This act, deemed illegal under Moldova’s election code, reportedly involved hundreds of individuals brought in to vote. Sekrieru shared footage from a charter flight, initially posted by Russia’s “Sputnik,” showing a plane filled with Moldovan passport holders. “The plane appears to be carrying between 260 and 400 voters,” Sekrieru stated, underscoring what he described as “clear evidence of large-scale, organized voter transport.”

The current pro-European leader of Moldova, Maya Sandu, won the second round of the presidential elections in Moldova.
After counting almost 100% of the ballots, she won 55.41% of the votes, while her rival, the former Prosecutor General of Moldova Oleksandr Stoianoglo, who represents the opposition pro-Russian "Party of Socialists", won 44.59% of the votes.
Therefore, the advantage of Sandu over Stojanoglo amounted to more than 181,730 votes
In her victory speech, delivered after nearly all votes were tallied, Sandu said that she had listened to the voices of her supporters and those of her opponent, Stoianoglo. She said that her primary goal for the coming years would be to serve as a president for all citizens.
“Today, dear Moldovans, you have given a lesson in democracy, worthy of being written in history books... Freedom, truth, and justice have prevailed,” she said.
Well done Moldova.

🇨🇿 President of the Czech Republic Petr Pavel allowed several dozen citizens to join the ranks of the Armed Forces.
In total, more than 180 Czechs appealed to Pavel to allow them to join the Ukrainian army
Currently, it is known that the president allowed 60 citizens of the country to join the ranks of the Armed Forces. At the same time, it is unclear exactly how many Czechs went to Ukraine for the war, because some did so without permission.
This is great news because it means they won't be arrested as mercenaries on their return. Let's hope other countries follow.

NK troops open fire on Russians
Good Morning. MASTODON ATE MY POST YESTERDAY. I had a little accident hurrying down the stairs from my front deck. I think it's mostly muscle and a kidney punch by a stair. I am staying in bed this morning. I got up to feed the cats and make coffee. Very difficult. Once I am upright it's painful but tolerable. Extreme pain going from horizontal to vertical.
Last night it was a series of storms. Terror went out. But he goes out in rain. Sammie was no go. OKC got tornadoes. We are expecting some in the afternoon. We got a lot of rain. But the major part is this afternoon.
