A man and his daughter were found dead in Salisbury, England yesterday. People die all the time. But here we have two Russyans, a father and daughter. Seen minutes before at a shopping mall nearby, they were found unconscious on a park bench in their death throes. Hmmmmmm.
British security police are investigating the suspicious circumstances. Mr. Sergei Skripal and his daughter have lived locally for several years. He is the former K.G.B. agent convicted of spying ten years ago by a Moscow court and then exchanged for another Russyan wanted by the Kremlin. This activity is becoming an international problem. Russyans abroad are often the targets of reprisals from the Kremlin and its occupants. Most recently, the head of the Kremlin is everybody's fave, V.V. Putin, or Vova to his cronies. My, my. Are we surprised? Is anybody surprised? Foreign Secretary of the UK, Boris Johnson, said that this activity, if found to be state -sponsored by the Kremlin, will be met with harsh sanctions. Perhaps oligarchs will have to give up their homes in Kensington.
We'll see.
Lake Tahoe, California's Alpine playground, is anchored on the west shore by Homewood/Tahoma, straddling two counties:Placer and El Dorado. The mayor of Tahoma posts information related to the area and items of interest to residents and visitors alike. Its goal is to be informative, humorous, and timely. Hope you enjoy the site.
