Great fake ID, Mr Trump O0 I love the rubber duckies in the tub. What is that, soup? My wife wants to know. I thought maybe the sign by the pizza (right-hand side) meant little cake* but Google translate says Galician? Galician legend? Interesting. Thank you for taking the time to post these 🙏 Edit...

Smithers, thank you for the daily updates on your activities. Every morning I look to see your posts, both for the content and as evidence that you are safe. The pictures are beautiful. Thanks again. Thanks for having interest! This is my first time travelling through Europe in any way at all, so i...

Posting while on the go again. Will share what we were up to today when I get back to my fiancé’s parent’s place.

(Just updated with a couple more pics :)) That transparent roof is neat! I know a guy who doesn’t like to sit at outdoor cafes because he’s worried that birds will drop something in his cup or some kind of plant detritus will fall in there. This would work for him O0 It's definitely a cool cafe. On...

The missus and I just got up to our first beautiful morning in Lviv after a wonderful stay in a local hotel. This city is genuinely gorgeous, and the locals are displaying such strength in carrying on their day-to-day responsibilities despite the perpetual threat of destruction. Every city block has...

Why did I picture you typing this from the coffee shop bathroom?

Because your intuition is impeccable.

We just arrived in Lviv. Closer to the war front than before in Mukachevo but, still reasonably safe. Air sirens happen regularly here, but actual damage is relatively rare. I’m in another cafe, but will post more substantively when I reach the hotel. IMG_4257.jpeg IMG_4262.jpeg IMG_4269.jpeg (Just ...

Ukrainian coffee

Local yummy things.

Smithers, what makes the coffee amazing? Re. your signature: What is the other 1% ? Just curious! Stay safe and don't get constipated. Perhaps buy ear plugs and nose closer clips for everyone? :-) The coffee is much stronger on average than in North America and there’s lots of unique takes on flavo...

Ukrainian coffee is AMAZING.

You know it!

That's when my mind delves more into stock market tinkering as an outlet. Isn't that why we're all here?

My fiance and I just slept through most of the first day or so we've been here. Other than the air raid sirens, there isn't any obvious sign of war in the region we are currently in. Some observations: - Most people are doing their best to go about their day to day lives. There's a strong attitude ...

Snap some photos if you get a chance, Smithers, and it’ll be greatly appreciated. Not of the coffee shop toilet, just, you know, Ukraine and stuff. A few random snaps from today. O0 IMG_4201.jpg IMG_4210.jpg IMG_4212.jpg IMG_4213.jpg IMG_4217.jpg IMG_4218.jpg IMG_4219.jpg IMG_4220.jpg IMG_4211.jpg

We just heard our first air raid siren last night as we were trying to sleep. All good so far though.

Smithers, did you get married..?

Engaged!

Somehow I missed that! Congrats!

Thanks, my friend!

Currently on a bus from Budapest to Ukraine to visit my fiancé’s parents. Using starlink internet no less!

ARM was the first stock I ever bought. Those were the days.
