Interesting the Buenos Aires (local expression?) meaning 'cut' for a coffee. You might be amused with my favorites from Italian: 'caffe macchiato' means 'stained', i.e., 'with milk', and 'corretto', means 'corrected' (!) , i.e., with grappa, a very strong licquor (sp?) from the dregs of the wine making. You can see their nice sense of priorities. Love your scenic shots of your beautiful city.
Nor can they. But if they read the word of God, they could at least begin to understand what is wrong with this world, and why man will never fix it. Alas, Bertrand Russell rejected the one true God, instead believing the lies told about Him. He, along with the vast majority of people that have ever lived, will one day bend the knee to this God, and His Son, unfortunately too late.
I much enjoyed your musing regarding a theoretical meeting of Russell and Einstein and your discussion of how our emotions and thoughts are distinct from space and time. We are all eternal creatures, if we but let the Lord of Hosts into our lives. We have only a brief moment here to impact upon the course of humanity and impact we must.
We were in Buenos Aires in March and stayed at the Alvear Palace. Our conversation then was about such a step back in time. We walked the streets at night after dinners that were wonderful. Quite a change from even a few years ago.
I always love your musings. I'm sure you have read A Gentleman in Moscow, by Towles. He like you, seemed to be able to view the world from afar.
I just checked the weather. 55 in Buenos Aires - indicated by the jackets in the video. It will not get below 87 until about 6:00 AM in San Antonio. It is still 100 at 7:25 as I write.
Sister just sent a video of how the earth was formed over the 4.5 billion years we assume it has existed.
Thanks as always for your thoughtful notes, Judy. I have added Mr. Towles work to my infinitely expanding "to-read" list. As my wife's late grandmother (a librarian, no less) used to say, "So many books, so little time." Cheers!

Yes the deep thinkers of the past posed many a question and thought. But, in My opinion have not solved the matters at hand.

Agree.
Deep Joel. Oh so deep your mind wonders and wanders and takes me with you. Thank you.
Thank YOU, kind sir!

One of my favorite lobby bars in the world at the Alvear. Did you happen to catch this Note?

So much to think about!
