Not Only by the Walk... Aug 10, 2016 | Comments: They say that our people are easy to recognize anywhere in the world. There they go, unsmiling, and in their face you can read readiness to fight back against the whole world, which is plotting another dirty trick against them.

A Trip with Apple Maps Sep 25, 2015 | Comments: I, like many others, was long ago and firmly disappointed with Apple Maps and put this app in a distant folder on my iPhone.
