Daniela et. fam. went on a side-trip to the Parque Nacional Iguazú, where the Grands had a great time amongst the monkeys and other wildlife to which they are akin. Esther and I enjoyed a brief quantum of peace during which we spent much time with family and discovered our inability to consume more than one substantial meal a day.

The lifestyle here in Buenos Aires is not easily confused with that of our sleepy burgh in Israel. For one thing, everything is closed on Sunday here, whereas in Israel Sunday is just the first work-day. For another, evening meals can’t be obtained earlier than 9PM or so. One tries to adapt, but the older I get, the more difficult and irritating I find adaptation to be. Such is life!

Of various and sundry:

My friend’s adventures in botland.
Uri: Israel is not a debate; and Trump’s madness.
If you wonder why “They must go!”, here’s exhibit #274,023.
NYC is not safe for Jews; the latest wins of the DSA (e.g. Communist antisemites) just makes it even worse.
Bugs/leaks at Microsoft and Apple, the US Cybersecurity Agency and your router.
Nuclear fusion startups are in trouble. I guess we’re still 10 years away from Fusion For Everyone™.
Step aside, Hollywood! This woman made a SPACE MOVIE without leaving her apartment! It’s better than most of the offerings from Tinseltown this year…

The absolute lunacy coming out of D.C. is truly astonishing and enraging. The “Iran deal”, cosying up to Qatar and Turkey, and pissing all over US allies… all of it makes me hope beyond all possible hope that there’s some 5D chess move going on that we’re not privy to. But I’m not optimistic, to put it very mildly.

What I can say is what I’ve said many times in the past: first, it’s long past time for my fellow Jews to get the hell out of Dodge while it is possible and relatively easy. Second, it’s way the hell past time for Israel to disentangle itself from the most dangerous “ally” in the world, the USA. We need to make it much more difficult for Uncle Sam to veto or impeded actions we must take for our own defense. The current situation is untenable and extremely dangerous—not only for Israel, but for the entirety of Western Civilization.

Oof.

Well, we’re planning on a relatively quiet shabbat here in Tango Central. The weather has been cold in the mornings, and brisk most of the rest of the day.

For our second shabbat in Buenos Aires, we’ll chow on very few vegetables, and:
ḥallah, ḥamin, meatballs, roast beef, salatim, and ice-cream.

Until next time,
shabbat shalom!
