A good little meeting. And a consensus: Novosibirsk needs more trash cans.

We will ponder the name of our group. A good name is important.

The Russians are in charge of that.

We will meet on Fridays, but not this Friday.

I am silly, American, and a hippie for thinking that we might change a law.

I have never been to a bar in Novosibirsk? What is my problem? Have I been ill?

In Russia, the government is a force of nature. We can endure and hope for better days.
