I watched the gray clouds this morning while listening to my favorite piece of music, Concerto de Aranjuez. The master of the classical guitar was John Williams, a former student of Andreas Segovia. With the death of Segovia years ago, John is now the best.
When I saw the clouds starting to break up, letting in a little sunshine, I took the opportunity to get Joan dressed for the outside. It has been three days inside for her, and knew she was getting anxious to go out. I wasn't sure where to go, but I remembered what I wanted to do a little later.
I drove to the Nowe Lokum cafe for a purpose. Inside, they have a very nice sitting area. However, there is no way that a person in a wheelchair can ascend the four stairs. My purpose was to suggest to the manager to build a ramp to accommodate disabled people. I did talk to him, he agreed with me, and said he would talk to the owner about it. I told him it might improve his business in the winter when it is too cold to sit outside. We will see if it happens.
Since we were already there, we had a cup of coffee and then went across the street to sit by the Opera House fountain. Because the university doesn't start again until October, there are far fewer people.
Meanwhile-Ukraine.
Ukraine’s campaign to cripple Kremlin oil and gas production with relentless drone strikes chalked up another processing plant set ablaze on Sunday, with long-range robot aircraft scoring hits and touching off fiery explosions on the premises of a major condensate gas processing site near the Baltic Sea port city St. Petersburg.
Flying wing drones tipped with explosive warheads swooped down on the Ust-Luga facility, Russia’s main processing site for natural gas piped from the Arctic and West Siberia, during the morning work shift. Eyewitnesses reported at least two massive fires following the daylight attack.
The fighters of the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine (HUR) on Thursday, Aug. 28, damaged a Russian small missile ship of Project 21631 “Buyan-M” — a carrier of Kalibr cruise missiles, according to an official statement from the agency.
First, the “Prymary” fighters attacked the vessel with a strike drone, damaging its radar system. Afterwards, special forces from the Department of Active Measures hit the ship’s hull.
“As a result of the attacks, the Russian missile ship, which was in the potential launch zone for Kalibrs in the Temryuk Bay, sustained damage and was forced to leave its combat duty area,” the intelligence service said. Source-Kyiv Post
