life

Strange how the world’s karma works

 

Less than 24 hours ago (22 to be exact) Neta even joins the world, a healthy smiling baby girl- which makes me 6 times uncle

 

And an hour ago I look at ynet web site - I rarely do that lately- and see a head line on a cop who’s killed his wife and baby boy and committed suicide- it caught my attention since he headline said he will be buried in my city- so I pay closer attention and- I knew the guy

We played rugby for a few years- and he lived a house across from mine at one time (hashmonaim st) though rugby is for strong guys- his position was for the smallest guy on the pitch (scrum half)- I am shocked- since both he and her were cops and her father was some senior cop- conspiracy theories emerge- I hope he is cleared- but it wouldn’t matter to them.

 

Yes life works in mysterious ways- and with that- my flight home is delayed for a week- due date next Sunday

 

Since Ra’anana remains in the same safety level (1 less cop, 1 less killer) vote change- vote meretz- elections only 3 weeks away

I may or may not have been standing on an alien landing strip

We walked in to the local diner for dinner , and came out later an enter our car, which looked odd-
First there was a bone on the front seat- of what I don't know- I picked it up and looked at it - this was after the trip to the desert- so we thought I must have sat on something- though I was not- we look at each other and trying to figure what it was- than we saw ore weird stuff, a big water bottle which we haven't bought, and Curtis looks in the back seat and spots a baby crib (empty, the dingo...)- than we got it- we were in the wrong car- a similar looking car was parked next to us- opened- we jumped out- here they all have guns- and some of them have more guns and moved quickly to our boneless car (we still don't know what that bone was)- that was yesterday
Now we are driving back to Vegas (just the airport) for a flight later today to Portland- but we took a slight detour- to the road leading to Area 51 itself- there are signs leading to it and alien memorabilia.

We had up the road and I spot a chopper (civilian looking) and since it's on the area51 road- I try to get a photo of it- and I can't- I just don't see it with the camera- so weird-I can't explain but it was just o chopper- or was it?
We continue through the desert filled with cactus and rock formations and searching for aliens- till we hit the end - 2 signs on the side of the road
Military zone, can't take photos, deadly force authorized and on an overlooking hill there is a patrol (few bored guys in a hammer)-
And than.........nothing happened- we turned around and drove back (with no actual photos of the sign) area 51 remains a mystery

We stopped in the desert to look for more wildlife- and saw spider webs- big ones but no more spiders, a jack rabbit which was scared and ran away, very small lizards and a desert chipmunk (desert chipmunk is not it's official name- but it's a chipmunk in the desert- so)

No reception here - this mail will be sent probably when we reach Vegas- hoping to see some weird stuff

Enjoy area 51 photos- if you look closer - I am sure there is an alien in there

FW: more of ohio from may

photos of my 1st nature hike- still not green but the
1st sunny day in Cleveland is good enough

My new home is also there 1 mile from the office- and 1 minute walk to
subway, panera bread, Walgreen and a super market and the post office
(if you want me to ship something)- but unfortunately the closest one is
a wendys

And the ugly grey car is just another rental

The ugly soup is Cuban bean soup...

I will enter the apartment in 2 weeks- already bought a sofa and bed (my
credit cries).

Does anyone knows an honest car dealer?

p.s- if you ever go to Hartville, oh- don't eat at Helen's kitchen

If you want to understand the meaning of the head line- go and see ‘Son Of Rambow’ the best thing to ever come out of a joint British French film production- the last projects of these countries were the Israel- Lebanon border, getting us involved in a land war in Sinai – so they are not good together- but this movie is funny and original with just a taste of kitsch- I know some of you like my movie taste and some don’t- I liked it. Featuring a very good 80s soundtrack and the next river phoenix.

 

If you see a Barcelona red  corolla walking in the street- stop and let it pass- it may be mine-

Yes I went back and took the car-now I am driving like a sisi- scared for my baby- I may even wash this one from time to time (since it is free in the dealership)

 

The fastest rising crime in America is identity theft- and now that I got my social security card- I am a possible victim- they say to hide the card- don’t let anyone see it- so where do you hard a piece of paper you can’t even laminate- for me any where I put it I want find it- so why hide it at all.

Identity theft is still only the 2nd most common crime in America- the 1st is voter fraud- republicans and democrats have been cheating the American public for 200 years.

The corruption has spread to Ra’anana – where my brother shai has lost an election for the 1st time- he may still get a seat in the municipal election – but it’s a long shot- so Raananians of the world- come November- say no to Barak osama- say no to woman who lost but want admit it- say no to the senile- and vote Meretz for Raanana municipality (just this email list has 10 potential raanana votes….)

 

For international news- my long awaited transport- is due to arrive tomorrow- I am sick of listening to the same CD…… 23 boxes be here and the mess which is heavy now- will triple

 

I now own Skype technology- and a Madonna head set (is she in Israel? The last time she was here I was in Cyprus- we always miss each other)- my number is ‘Gil_even’- I got a call this week saying I don’t call enough—usually if you call me and tell me I don’t call enough- it’s a sure way of making me not call you… I hate that. But he is right- I don’t call enough- so get skype- it is free.

 

Just returned from a very good Spanish meeting- where I actually managed to speak Spanish- only words the last time- now full sentences…. Bought a book of Spanish short classic stores and a dictionary.

But the Irish girl was not there- I haven’t met here since- I guess like all the leprechauns- she is too extinct.

 

Tomorrow a hike after work- a genius idea to go hiking at 18:00.

 

Thursday Indian Jones

Friday swing dance

 

I do work from time to time…

 

 

Something I was sure would happen sooner has happened (other than, getting the car, license, bank, and all that crap)- I received my 1st match from someone in the office

So let me tell you about mary Watson

 

If the name mary Watson doesn’t ring a bell – it’s is because you the last Spiderman movie was a bad one

Mary Jane Watson is spider comic (and movie) girlfriend)- I bet only Avishy new that

So when mary approached me from a face book application – my spidy senses were on high alert.

I know it sais sucker on my forehead- but where is it written on my IP address?

Mary has a sad tale of orphanage, moving from Canada to salt lake…yada yada yada….tears,,,,,  bla- I didn’t know than why she told me that

So we exchanged emails for a few days and here emails were strange- they were long (but not of quality like mine J ) and with a strange fonts- lots of …. And looked odd- since it felt odd even to me – I looked her up on face book and else where- but searching for mary Watson always gets images and drawing of spiderman girlfriend. People are very creative when it comes to drawing her.

Mary writes that she is a model now modeling in Nigeria and about to retire and open a fashion store in Cleveland- that was strange- Cleveland and fashion are total strangers. And Nigeria?

I am a trusting soul – so we wrote some more- and always with that wired font.

 

She was suppose to arrive in Cleveland this week- and I looked some more- and the search mary Watson salt lake- led me to a dating scammer site.

Apparently this bitch (and I apologies to dogs everywhere) is probably a guy who uses some software to analize emails – and according to the site – the next step is saying she is stick ask for money- and of course disappear. One what do you know the next day marry writes

Good to hear from you,how are you doing today?hope you had a peaceful night?am really worried today,when was in a meeting with my manager and client,i am not sure if i will be coming to the states this week anymore if only you can help me out,i think i will be delayed,my payment was made in United States Postal Money Order for safety purpose and it can only be cash in the states but my agency has already make an arrangement for my flight but i need some money to settle my hotel bills.And i contacted my manager to get me a loan but he agreed to have sex with me before he can help me and i never wanted to become a whore, so i disagreed with him and this means no money from him. Although i never wanted to bother you but i would really appreciate if you can help me with the money,i promise to pay you back when i get over to you.I am ashamed for asking you to help me financially,i know its not right but i have no choice.i will be so glad if you can do this for me.hope to hear from you soon,have a peaceful day.
Mary.
p:i will very happy if you can call me on my hotel phone...+2348084670083,ask of mary Watson...room026...i will be waiting

 

So I didn’t reply and neither is he (she, it).  Any body want to try calling that number? She is a model.

 

So my question is- after being stood up last week- and my 1st online scam (that I know of)- where does it say sucker on my IP address?

 

But this is not the match that I was given- that one is a Russian american jewish girl by the name of lana.

Which I plan to call after my possible date with Julie tomorrow (Julie is a real girl…..)

 

So I was in new York this weekend with my mom- who turned 29 again (strange since I am 31) – and 60 members of the Hitzig family which is my grandma family name- so now I have a large family I did not know about close by (close being 6 hours in any direction) but still nice to know I have places to crash in argentina, colombia, france and all over north America

We went to a real Chinese place in china town and had the most shocking meal I ever ate. They had shrimps- live shrimps- don’t read the next section if you are under 18, suffer from a heart disiese or pregnant, if you are under and 18 and pregnant keep watching) so they poured some alcohol over them- and after 10 minutes they stopped jumping- then they cooked them on the table right in front of us and that we were forced to eat them- chose most likely but it was shocking- I think the other type of food that comes in a normal meat way is better- it’s not like the slaughter the steak?

 

On the way back from Pittsburgh ( I flew to new York from there) I saw a lot of deer- but dead on the high way- that was a toll road- toll being the toll from nature- a dead animal every 5 miles.

So I noticed the little differences- case in point – rivers

 

In Israel if a snail crosses the road and leaves a trail of snail goo- we put a sign and call it a river

Here I drove over huge rivers and not a name in sight- I looked- no name! they just call it the place with water

Also the more east you go the worse the drivers- Cleveland are ok- Pittsburgh is bad and new York awful- not to mention the B.O- but new York was full of tourist and festivals so that was fun.

 

That is it for this week

Next week updates on Julie, lanna, mary Indiana Jones and the escirextilator.

 

p.s don’t scratch my car!

 

 

 

 

FW: photos of a mid week hike from may

Hi
Some photos from Kandell lake

I was watching man united winning :) on the tread mill- 2.3 miles

Than went to the mid week hike- got there a bit late It is a circular path (5 miles)- so I had to choose which way to follow the group Of course I chose the wrong way...
So I ran to the half way point- met the group- and walked back with them the way I came.
Probably the most running ever for me since boot camp.

But a very fun afternoon...
