Esther left for Argentina this week, so things were a bit hectic: making sure all the documents she needed were prepared, the COVID tests, the packing, etc. We were both a bit frazzled.

Fortunately, though the trip was 24 hours long, she arrived safely, and was greeted by her brother and niece. She’s staying with her mom, and apparently the entire family is coming over for ''shabbat'' to enjoy her cooking. Nice vacation! Luckily for them, she likes to cook.

Mom had a scheduled hospital visit to review the status of her feet; unfortunately, the consensus was she needs a [https://www.newhealthadvisor.org/Transmetatarsal-Amputation.html TMA procedure]. I was able to convince them to let her come home for ''shabbat'' first, but we’ll be returning on Sunday, apparently, to start things.

In the meantime, I’ve got a ton of things to do, so this will be a short blog.

Various and sundry:
* A macOS “zero-day” was [https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2021/11/macos-zero-day-used-against-hong-kong-activists.html used against Hong Kong activists]
* DDR4 memory protections [https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2021/11/ddr4-memory-is-even-more-susceptible-to-rowhammer-attacks-than-anyone-thought/ are broken] by a new “Rowhammer attack”
* In England, a terminally ill man decided to “moon” a speed camera (it was on is “bucket list”; don’t be a hater). Anyway, the police [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Wg8yPpv89o took the case very seriously], sending seven cops to arrest this man. To find out why, watch the video.
* A sign of the (end) times? A Canadian doctor has [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lcNGscYzyBE diagnosed a woman with ‘climate change’]. Truly revolutionary, and stupid…
* The COP26 climate-change summit and [https://www.nationalreview.com/2021/11/trans-nonbinary-liberation-is-eco-justice/ trans-nonbinary-liberation]. What, you didn’t think there was a connection?
* And [https://reason.com/2021/11/14/communism-destroyed-russian-cooking/ “Communism destroyed Russian cooking”]. Dunno, I’ve sampled a lot of Russian cooking, and it’s mostly frightening.

I’ve got to get my bread started, and the rest of today’s fare prepared. Hopefully I’ll get Mom to eat some of it, as well.

This ''shabbat'', Ron’s menu includes:<br>
homemade sourdough ''ciabatta'',
curried squash soup,
beef stew,
rice,
various ''salatim'',
and spice cake.

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