I kinda miss writing Survival Saturday.

If you've been with me for a while, you may recall my "Survival
Saturday" posts. It was a pretty popular weekly post with my thoughts
about current events, politics, and how it all affects us, along with
some personal notes.

I thought I would revive it but for subscribers only. I really want you
all to know how much I appreciate you and hope you enjoy some exclusive
content.

One thing I'm not going to write about is the impeachment hearings. The
whole thing is a circus, a distraction, and I don't care which side of
it you're on. This is the type of thing that, when it takes over the
news, should cause you to look closely at what is going on that they
want to distract us from. Political theater is always a sign that
something important is happening but "Hey, look over here instead!"

Things with China have gone from bad to worse.

Many of us strongly support the students in Hong Kong who are rebelling
against totalitarianism. There was a sobering video posted

on the New York Times of these kids writing what might be their final
letters to family members as they awaited the last siege. It will rip
your heart out.

American support of these young rebels has not gone over well with the
Chinese government. Michael Snyder wrote two very thorough articles
about the degrading situation.

This Week in Weird Science

The scariest scientific "advancement" of the week has to go to this one:

Doctors Have Officially Frozen And Reanimated A Human Being For The
First Time

This is proof positive these scientists don't watch the same movies or
read the same books as I do. Otherwise they'd know that this will
somehow backfire spectacularly.

Tyler Durden of ZH writes:

Tisherman told New Scientist that he replaced a human's blood with
ice-cold saline solution. He called the whole ordeal

**"a little surreal"**. The patient was then removed from the cooling
system and taken to an operating theater for a two hour surgical
procedure before having their blood restored and their body warmed back
up to its normal temperature.

Good gravy.

What I'm Up to Now
If you're following my trip through Europe, here's the latest update.
Last week I traveled from Athens, Greece to Thessaloniki, Greece. The
weather has been craptastic, with chilly rain all week, but that hasn't
stopped me from exploring. (I actually wrote an article earlier this
week about how I get my bearings in a new city
. You may want to
check it out for some tips on urban navigation.)

I noticed in a hurry that Thessaloniki has not recovered from the
economic crisis as much as Athens. (And to be truthful, Athens is still
really hurting
.) The poverty
is extremely noticeable here. I saw people digging through the trash to
find things they could re-sell. There were people who can't afford to
set up in the market selling produce from the backs of their trucks. I
saw a fellow wearing two different shoes and the rest of his clothing
was pretty ragged, so I'm certain it was not a fashion choice. Despite
the struggles, people here are warm and generous. I have felt very
welcome here and there's so much beauty.

Thessaloniki has a fascinating history. For example, I had no idea that
it was controlled by Turkey until 1912, when it was reunited with
Greece. There are churches here more than 1000 years old that were
turned into mosques until the reunification, when they were
reconsecrated. If you'd like to see my photos, you can go to Instagram
. I tried to give some historic
information in the captions. (You don't need an account to see the
photographs. You only need an account if you want to comment on them.)

That's it for this week! Thank you so much for being a subscriber. Your
support means everything to me.

Have a wonderful weekend!

This Week's Most Popular Instagram Photo

Here's this week's most popular photo on Instagram
which was taken in
Thessaloniki, Greece, and the caption:

This is the Church of Panagia Chalkeon. According to an inscription it
was built in 1028. It says:

This once profane place is dedicated as an eminent church to the Mother
of God by Christopher, the most illustrious royal protospatharios and
governor of Lagouvardia, and his wife Maria, and their children,
Nicephorus, Anna, and Catacale, in the month of September, indiction
XII, in the year 6537.

Christopher was using the Byzantine calendar - this is why the year is
different than our calendar.

This church too was turned into a mosque and so it remained until the
Ottoman occupation of Thessaloniki ended in 1912.
