Friday. Left a little after 11:30. Blacksmith. A summer day, mostly sunny, some blown apart, stretched out white clouds here and there, moderate breezes from the south. Merwedekanaal to Nedereindseweg and the bikepath to the Meerlobrug. IJsseldijk, and around IJsselstein to Benschop. Around the town toward Jaarsveld. Detour through the business park. The river very peaceful, but enough people taking advantage on the dike. Lopik, Polsbroekerdam, Oudewater. Mowing going on everywhere; lots of corn still upright. Snelrewaard to Montfoort and Harmelen. Zandweg back to town. Russian provocations in Eastern Europe continue, but in spite of empty expressions of disappointment in the Russian leader, the White House keeps confirming that it will not undertake anything to push back. And so the assaults on Ukraine continue as will, in all likelihood, the provocations. The best hope for a way out is for Ukraine to inflict so much damage on Russia's fossil fuel infrastructure, that the Russian economy will enter a real crisis. But even then, being all-in and maintaining many lethal military options, how is the Kremlin going to lose this war?
