It's a soft summer night.

We're going on to the theater afterwards and look forward to the jugglers.

They're back.

They do very well.

The children love them during the day and we enjoy them at night.

They're funny.

Juggling anything, swords especially.

That's a trip, the Gladys.

Now, Germanicus, this is not something the 21st century wants to hear, but we'll say it anyway.

We managed the tribes on the Danube and the Rhine for hundreds of years by now and again wiping out a tribe.

Right. I puzzle. this doesn't tell easily in English,

I puzzle how it is that the 21st century doesn't recognize

that what Russia and Ukraine are up to

is a managing of tribes on the Danube and the Rhine.

We recognize it.

There would be an emperor who would say, leave no one alive, and the legal would take

him seriously.

The dogs would be killed as well.

And that's what we're seeing in Ukraine.

It's horror, yes, it's supposed to be horror.

You're not supposed to like it.

But Russia is managing a tribe.
