лейтенант

Gone two hours and a quarter, Joe is undoubtedly north of Dothan in his red Volvo,

about a ten hour drive to Winston-Salem, stopping overnight in Black Mountain if that works out. Nick went back to sleep, we leave early afternoon to drop him at the airport for his flight to Atlanta then Detroit. 

Meantime I'm watching "Lieutenant Suvorov" on Youtube - - aside from "Road to Berlin", which was absurdly disjointed though - - maybe the best Russian war movie I've watched, well done so far but, set in 1941, probably will finish weepy disastrous for Sasha and Anna. Languages, I enjoy languages, and matching the Russian print with the English subtitles is helping me find that Russian is not so strange after all. Many similarities to Greek, and this morning I noticed that the Russian Щ pronounced "sh" is near identical to the use of that symbol שׁ in Hebrew. However, just being able to sound out Russian, German, Greek, Hebrew words does not mean I can read and understand full words, though some shine through because of close spelling, pronunciation, meaning, e.g., лейтенант, lieutenant, and leutnant as in Herr Oberleutnant. It's all good. Like math, fun and good.

Prayer: traveling mercies.
