Hamseen - The Hot Desert Wind Hits Kever

Second day of hamseen here. Air conditioner working at full. I discovered that my fishmonger sells salmon for 80 shekel a kilo but for only 10 shekel the cuts with back bone. So instead of salmon head I am buying salmon residues and boiling them with curry powder. The resulting soup has a bright yellow - saffron color with rich fish oil drops floating around. My mother said that I am like my late grandfather Gyula, of Jaszbereny, hoarding money and real estate. She knew me well and she knew her father-in-law (I didnt). It is our nature and I find myself ending my days as his clone; I didnt set out to be like him but could not help it.

Buy the boneless salmon. Whatever the state doesn't take in taxes, your children will squander on something that you would see as worthless, not because they are bad children but just because this is the way things go.

Jewesses?

No, it is not my way to buy expensive food. And never will. Old people tends to develope its lifelong tendencies to the extreme, so most probably you will find me near the end of my life collecting the food thrown out by restaurants and the shuk (market). Dont laugh, I mean it because there are many old Jews doing it here. It is the culture of poverty or whatever.

Jewesses? What do you think? Standard Jewish maidele.

"Standard Jewish maidele"

If only it were true, but it's not. You know as well as I do that in attractiveness Bar Refaeli is in the top 0.1% of ethnic Jewish women.

Come to Kever Benjamin and judge by yourself. There is an abundance of attractive maideles. Come hungry.

Also Bar Refaeli apparently doesn't own any clothes, only bikinis and underwear. Sometimes she doesn't even have a bra or bikini top and she has to walk around with her arm covering her chest. I judge this based on a google image search - there are a few pictures of her fully clothed but not many. In this respect she also differs from most women who wear clothing more often than not.
