The holiday was a pleasant one, though the back-to-back holiday-plus-''shabbat'' was more than we’ve become used to. Yes, I know: all you folks in the Exile have two-days all the time…

A bit of excitement this week: there was a sudden, very strong, rain storm. It rained buckets for quite a while, leading to water coming in through our “fixed” ceiling. So, that was fun. I actually had to put a bucket under the leak which was ''streaming'', not dripping. Fortunately, the rain ceased before I needed to call Noah. Our roof repairman is on speed-dial.

Since my client doesn’t want to pay for AWS or Google’s services at this point, I created a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Publish%E2%80%93subscribe_pattern pub/sub server] in 8th, to work with the application I’m developing for them. It was an interesting sub-project, and if I may say so, I did a very nice job!

Various:
* Young people [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KW9ZZObyAkI have been misled] about everything, according to [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Boghossian Peter Boghossian].
* Female engineer Po says women ''can'' [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zgFRyd17osM have it all]. Not necessarily what you might think, though.
* Haters gloat over [https://www.israellycool.com/2023/05/25/haters-gloat-over-israelis-arrested-in-dubai-over-murder-of-another-israeli-except/ Israelis arrested in Dubai]. But there’s a twist…
* Holly talks about [https://hollymathnerd.substack.com/p/a-shocking-thing-that-almost-nobody a shocking thing] that almost nobody knows.
* How long does it take [https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2023/05/hackers-can-brute-force-fingerprint-authentication-of-android-devices/ “BrutePrint”] to unlock 10 different smartphones?
* And: Matt Walsh cancels a new, and awful, song from the recent Disney remake of [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aLBy_OiM9dA The Little Mermaid].

Around ''pesaḥ'' I planted a sad looking horseradish root in a corner in the back, hoping that one day we would have fresh horseradish and wouldn’t have to pay exorbitant prices for a root. It sat there, for roughly a month, without making progress. Then a leaf appeared, and seemed to barely hold on. This last week, it exploded into action, and we’ve got a brawny horseradish bush! Fortunate that I had the foresight to plant it in a physically restricted area so it doesn’t take over the world.

Esther and I plan on taking a mini-vacay this coming week, heading over the hills to the greener side of life. We’ll relax in a spa-like environment, sipping wine from crystal flutes and being pampered. Or at least, that’s what I’ve imagined.

The weather’s been OK, by and large, but we’re looking at a severe heatwave for ''shabbat'': probably up to 40C or beyond today (Friday), 35 or so on Saturday. I do not approve!

Back to a normal schedule this ''shabbat''. ''Sur la table'':<br>
home-made ''pita'',
chicken ''shewarma'',
''kebabs'',
rice ''pilaf'',
roasted vegetables,
various ''salatim'',
and strawberry sherbet.
<br>

This week’s ''parasha'' (in Israel) [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5NVQFa959c0&list=PL4YtTo5kvs2Ffxe4aFjGZky_3pGyhsCbh read in the Yemenite] manner.

Until next time,<br>
''shabbat shalom''!
