Wife asks me if you have new pictures a couple of times a week. Always enjoy your posts. I suppose she is saying that she wants to go to Greece. If only we could.
Great ! Your wife is from Texas too? _________________________

We know about Alamo and the sacrifice of men so General Houston could ''buy time" for Texas and about James Bowie/Day Crockett/William Travis. We also know about Confederation and few weeks back many Military sites had the ''We stand with Texas' logo.

GREEK INDEPENDENCE WAR 1821-2024 Anniversary
As today at 25 March 1821 the Orthodox Greeks officially started the revolution against the ottoman empire fighting the muslim turks and their allies (from albania, bosnia, tunisia, egypt, croatia, algeria etc) to end an almost 400 year old tyranny. Their motto was "Freedom of Death" and in few areas that the turks never manage to invade was "Victory or Death".
May 20, 1825 Maniaki of Messinia, around 500 Greeks not well barricaded in positions faced 3000 Ottomans (turkish-egyptians). The reinforcements expected by Papaflessas (a Archimandrite) never arrived and so he faced the enemy alone. Every Greek knew they were going to die but fought to send the message to the Ottomans that they preferred Death to slavery. The film did not have the effects of Hollywood (the cavalry attacks were more numerous, the cannonade more intense, 3 of Greeks saved and took our flag so the muslims won't disgrace it etc.) but you can get an idea. Please take 10 minutes of your time to see how we fought for our Freedom back then.
I am smoking Skandinavik Sungold and at dinner i will raise a glass of red wine to the memory of the fallen fellow countrymen in the battlefield, those which tortured till death in prisons and the civilians who were massacred.

Good morning from Athens-Greece, we have clouds with light rain and 51 'F. I bought this Molina Y Carbon look, take a look the mouthpiece with that unique stamp, here is the dilemma: Should i keep it as is? Change it with another colour mouthpiece as Yellow or White in the same shape? Change it with another colour mouthpiece as Yellow or White but with no saddle, a more smooth shape? I am smoking Reiner Rot Blend 51, double Greek coffee beside me.

MERRY CHRISTMASGreetings from Athens-Greece, we have sun and 64 'F (unfortunately no snow). As you can see the quality of the photos is low, i don't know what's happening. I transfer them from my smartphone to my pc, stored in USB stick in a HUB in separate files. I check them after 1-2 days and ALL of them are OK, i make a second check after few days and suddenly some photos have been deformed! I run and Antivirus-Antimalware check and nothing found. The USB stick is permanently attached to the HUB for years, has enough space and suddenly the latest months some photos (which were in perfect condition) get damaged. Take a look: Why this happening? Can someone help me?
