We were at the festival for the historic Route 66 today, and, God, I love these small-town festivals. Inflatable castles, a petting zoo, a live band, local artisans, games for kids. Our town festivals are always held in the square in front of the public library, so those of us who are into reading can retire to the library to read on regular occasions.
At the festival, I saw a couple with three most magnificent large collies. The owners were decked out in Ukrainian symbolics, so of course I had to approach them. They have no personal connection to Ukraine but are great supporters.
“Isn’t it great how the Russian offensive on Kharkiv failed within days!” they gushed.
“Yes!” I agreed.
“And how amazing was Zelensky’s speech in France!”
“Yes!”
“And did you see what that veteran did, so touching!”
“Yes!”
“And did you hear what Putin said at that stupid forum of his that nobody visited?”
“Yes!”
“I only wish we took all the money we are sending to Israel and used it to help Ukraine win!”
“Yes! Wait, what?”
