"No one" is the answer. Myself included. It's 5:20 p.m. here, and there is still sun shining into the Moscow Times' big and tall windows. Woohoo!!
Other than expressing my joy for Mr. Sun, I wanted to tell everyone who doesn't love dates and figs to start doing so. They're so amazing. And at the giant, sprawling, incredibly unorganized markets of Moscow, there is the occasional dried-fruit and nuts vendor who sells them, and not just any kind, but EVERY kind. That is, they sell like 10 different kinds. Big ones, smaller ones, tarter ones, sweeter ones, every kind of ones. Try cooking with them some time, too---I used some North African couscous recipe the other night that used dates, and I just about died from pleasure every time I bit into one.
Presidential election here in Russia on Sunday. Eh. Crazy that such a supposedly big deal can be so boring. No one's really talking about it, including the newspapers for the most part, and for good reason---there's not really anything to talk about. "Welcome to the hot seat, Mr. Medvedev"---that's about it.
Also, while all you faithful readers are doing things that you may not have already been doing, such as eating more delicious dried fruits, listen to Lil' Wayne. He's really good!
Till next week.

It's funny, Lil Wayne's best stuff is on the random mixtapes, not the albums.
And dates are best when wrapped in BACON!
I love the Sun, Zeke, I do.
Also, sliced dried dates, on thin apple slices drizzled in honey are also quite tasty.
