Congrats to the Grands on receiving their first ''siddurim''! And kudos to their school for making the effort to live-stream the events.

Our efforts to always have something exciting to say paid off again! This week as I was doing the laundry, I discovered the washing machine had decided it was no longer going to ''do'' the wash. It was spun-out, dried-up, never to wheeze again. True, it ''was'' 18 years old, but that’s a mere pittance!

Anyway, we had to get a new washing machine, which was an unexpected and unwelcome expense; but, as the gentleman at the appliance store said, “that should be your worst problem”. Amen to that, brother!

As I disconnected the old washing machine, the water faucet it was connected to broke and had to be replaced. Though I am a Jew with Tools™, and rather fearless when it comes to most sorts of repairs, I avoid all plumbing issues. For reasons. Fortunately, our neighbor is a professional plumber and was willing and able to effect the repair for (again, yes) a mere pittance.

With Esther’s help, I got the new machine in place and hooked-up, and the dryer poised atop it. Back in business, baby!

Various and sundry:
* The IDF released their investigation into their Oct7th conduct [https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1895229906730336585?refresh=1740730128 and here is a synopsis].
* Bibi [https://www.jpost.com/breaking-news/article-844244 tells the IDF] to protect Druze villages in Syria.
* Konstantin Kisin on [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WEGTOVYEoGE Zelensky’s big mistake] and how he can fix it.
* Erin Molan on [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yj8iwFWwiHE Trump’s “Shalom Hamas”] and other assorted things.
* At the Oscars (what, they’re still a thing?!?) Rachel Zegler and Gal Gadot [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZIdWRNgImSM refuse to play nice]. Now seriously, folks: who could suspend disbelief long enough to accept that Gal G. was the ''ugly stepmother''? C’mon, man!
* The US [https://www.jpost.com/breaking-news/article-845077 will use AI to revoke visas] of students perceived as Hamas supporters. What could possibly go wrong?
* Nerd extreme: “Applied Science” on [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9KJLWwbs_cQ dramatically improving microscope resolution] — or: how to turn an expensive setup into a ''really'' expensive one.

We were promised rain, but none came; not even a pittance. I am offended by the lack of accountability our weather-watchers exhibit. It’s supposed to be warmer and sunnier next week, but we’ll probably get rain, if the weather-watchers have anything to do with it.

Because of the promised rain, I did a lot of garden-work the first half of the week: pruning trees, fertilizing, and weeding — and my body was ''most'' displeased. However, the garden is a lot better off, though my joints are not.

And of course, it’s raining right now…

This ''shabbat'' we’re on our own, and will have:
 
homemade ''ḥallah'',
Korean beef soup,
''pargiot'',
veggie chili,
rice,
roasted vegetables,
various ''salatim'',
and lemon-poppy-seed cake.
 

Until next time, 
''shabbat shalom''!
