GO FIGURE EINSTEIN - MORRISON - JEWS?
I am just about finished reading a book on Albert Einstein that I started in Iraq. It is a country that
hates Jews. What I have learned of recent is that a Genius moved the USA to die. A rock singer
moved to France to die. That reading and talking about Jewish people in a good way in Iraq could
help me die. 800 pages of small type and lots of history and stories of Genius. I bet it would have
made the Germans pissed if the USA would have dropped a Jewish invented bomb concept on their
heads, and not the Japan. Note that I am a WASP. White Anglo Saxon Protestant and in support of
Genius in any form.
A funny. There is a lot of “Deeghagh’ or chicken in Iraq. They broil it in gas oven that you can view
in the sidewalks and choose your chicken. The French have what looks like the exact same chicken
rotisserie. What do you think?
ARE THERE A FEW PIECES MISSING? France
I am staying in a very modern apartment in France. It is very difficult to compare or learn about the
homes and apartments of the world. That requires a person live or enter a lot of homes. How does
one get an invitation into the normal common persons home? It would take years for me to research
the homes of France to see how they compare to the home of the USA.
I have been in very luxurious homes in Acapulco, Peru, and Switzerland. In the poor countries like
Mexico and Peru they probably live the best. They are surrounded by servants that take care of the
garden, the kitchen and very possible need. When I was Switzerland and I visited my friend I stayed
in a complete home. There did not seem to be anything missing. It was a little strange that there was
a extra heating unit in the bathroom, but for the most part it was in my idea complete.
So what do I mean complete? I was in … oops.
My friend as me what I was writing and proceeded to get angry that I would compare. Then starts to
list all the exceptions to any point I was making. This is always a problem. There is always the
exception. Even though I have said it would take years to learn about the homes and tried to be
honest and qualify my comments people take exception and get angry.
This is the trouble with observing humans. They are constantly angry and insecure about how they
live. Everyone in the whole world feels inadequate.
I feel bad sometimes about my grammar and spelling. But I do not stop or try to hide it. In fact I just
keep on writing and hope you leave or shut up, or learn to deal with the fact that I am not capable of
writing perfect. A person does not have to perfect at a job to want to do that job, and in normal
situations the most enjoyable endeavors are those where we learn constantly. I am sure many of you
now say, hmmm… When will Andy learn to write? When will you learn to accept people for who
they are?
But there are missing pieces in this apartment. The water overflow in the bathroom sink is missing.
There is not dryer to accompany the wash machine. There is only one sink in the kitchen and this is
common when there is a dishwasher. There is not drainer system for the dishes to air dry. It is
against the rules to hang your clothes on the balcony, so I am wondering how to dry my clothes.
There is no oven or microwave. The lights in the hall stop or do not turn on enough. I get on the
elevator and the lights goes off. I am in a dark elevator. I will stop on the building.
This sounds like complaining, but I am living in one of the best places I have lived in 7 years of
travel. Much much better then most Hotels, even if they are 5 star. A swimming pool does not
counteract the need for fitted sheets. This places does have fitted sheets. Which makes it very
modern to me. I would consider fitted sheets the requirement for a country to be the first world.
I will stop before someone sends me hate mail.
FIRST MILK DRANK IN OTHER COUNTRY
I do not drink milk in other countries. So far in my travels I would only drink or trust milk in France
and Switzerland. But mainly only when I buy it in stores. All the other countries I have visited the
idea of drinking milk scares me, but in France it does not. I did not drink milk in Switzerland, but I
believe I could have and would have.
Water is necessary, but milk is optional. A can of soda is much safer then a box of milk. Most
countries do not keep the milk cold until you drink it and may leave it on the shelf until it is sold,
and would refuse to discard any old milk. Just proceed to sell until it is all gone. None of this
expiration date stuff.
But France is very modern in the stores and this is good. I have only been to 50 of the 270 plus
countries so there is still a long time until I can make a real generalization that has veracity. Always
and always just opinions and observations.
ANGRY FRIEND
I am told that I need to go look at France. I am suppose to get on the subway and see the attractions.
I said, “I am in France, everything I look at is French.”
I am lost to understand why people want me to look at only the special parts of a country. It is the
normal life that is the most beautiful.
