Our week was spent climbing slowly back to “normal”. Now we can taste and smell, and my fatigue has dissipated. Esther’s about at 90%, I’m probably at 85%. That, right there, sums up our entire week.
Sure, Esther worked and so did I. We did some gardening (more than we should have done, certainly). I did further cleanup in the back in preparation for sukkot. But that’s really it.
I did start trying to get some serious “learning” in, as we just started a new (Jewish) year and all. I’m working my way (very, very, slowly) through the “Yerushalmi” comparing with the “Bavli”. I’ve managed about one page, so far; it’s going to take me quite a long time…
Various:
- John Steinbeck and the fall and rise of Israel’s “Mount Hope”.
- A 🧵 on impeachment etc., by a lawyer.
- Comparative literature, in one image.
- Solana on UAW strikes
- Lily on censorship in the EU and how it’s getting worse.
- Is that a spy in your car?
- Surprising nobody, Microsoft researchers exposed 38TB of private data (that’s TERAbytes, son!). Including encryption keys and passwords, no big deal. I remember my first hard-disk was a measly 20MB — this is 2 million of those disks…
The Israel Police have said we should carry guns on Yom Kippur (if we’re licensed to carry, that is). With all due respect: I would be unable to properly pray if I had to lug along 2kg of weaponry and accoutrements with me. It would be uncomfortable as well; not to mention the “biggy” of not being allowed to “carry” on Y”K.
Yes, I know, I know! We “have an eruv”. Pardon me for disagreeing, even in principle, with that statement (if you’re interested in my reasoning, you can ask me to elucidate). Regardless: if the situation is so dire that “everyone” should be armed, I prefer to stay at home where I can, at least, concentrate on the prayers.
We’re mostly back to being able to taste! We’ve been invited out for one meal. For the rest we’re going basic:
homemade ḥalla,
vegetable chili,
cauliflower kugel,
various salatim,
and chocolate-chip cookies.
Until next time,
shabbat shalom and gemar ḥatima ṭovah!
