Drops of last week October 12 – October 18, 2026. PART I

We are surprised by something every day. We are happy or sad about something. Something makes us angry or something makes us laugh.

It's life. And she is who she is.

And here's last week

... IN PEACE

Notable geographer Donald Fredovich Trump

The “drops” believe that in vain the American president still can not give the Nobel prize.

“Droplets” think that he should be awarded this award in all nominations at once and also give a special medal with the profile of Alfred Nobel for outstanding achievements in the field of geography.

Last week, Trump gave an interview to Newsmax. We were told about this by the InoSMI resource.

And he told a journalist who was numb from such a scientific revelation that Russian Crimea was “the most beautiful land” – well, that’s okay, we agree with that – and this land... It is washed by the ocean on four sides.

There are no objections that Crimea is actually a peninsula, the great American geographer Donald Trump did not accept and laid out a reinforced concrete argument: “I am a developer, I understand good land.”.

That's it! And the Crimean boys don't know...

A year ago, the US president called Crimea “a huge piece of land that goes straight into the ocean.”.

That is, according to Donald Fredovich, last year Crimea was still not an island.

And Trump certainly knows that Crimea is huge, yes. Trump knows he's about as big as the US state of Texas.

He was not at all confused by the fact that Crimea is twenty-six times smaller than Texas.

But the president knows better, he's the president.

Yeah, yeah. Ancient Tajiks, sitting in the shadow of the Mausoleum of Sheikh Hazrati Shokh six hundred years ago, shaking turmas, whispered to each other: “Knowledge youngens the heart of an old man...”

Jesus killed a priest on live television

The “drops” never forget that all of us – both believers, and not very believers, and not at all – walk one way or another “under God” and everyone knows: what to be, he cannot escape.

But when you praise God on live TV and God kills you on this live TV...

You really need to think about God’s will.

A mystical case, which IA “Regnum” told referring to the publication “E Heraldo”.

On October 17, in Ecuador, in Guayaquil in a Catholic church, Pastor Patricio Molinari held a service for his followers in social networks and for those who came to pray directly to the church parishioners.

And suddenly, in the midst of the service, a heavy wooden cross hanging in the altar behind the priest's back collapsed on him and crushed Patricio to death.

Naturally, there was a terrible commotion, but the padre killed by Jesus could not be helped.

The Archdiocese of Guayaquil had only to make an official statement: "We inform you that our beloved father Patricio Alfredo Sanchez Molinari, who served as parish priest of the Church of Relentless Aid in the Central Vicariate, has departed to the Father's House to enjoy His presence and His glory."

As the local Indian theologians of Ecuador’s neighboring Peru said three hundred years ago, “You can’t ask for God’s will.”.

... IN COUNTRY

Family vacation has gone up. Significantly

The droplets know how good it is when the whole family together - father, mother, sons and daughters - cheerfully pack their suitcases and go for a good, kindred rest.

But "Dripelki" also state that family holidays are becoming more and more expensive.

Last week, TASS and the Russian Union of Travel Industry "pleased" "Drip" and not only them that "the cost of rest with children during the autumn school holidays increased by an average of 7-10% compared to the same period last year.".

As sad as it sounds, but the prices for the upcoming free autumn days have not decreased anywhere.

“There is a standard annual increase by suppliers by about 10%, and secondly, we will take into account the factor of the strengthened dollar, which also weighs on prices.”.

Prices for accommodation increased by the same 10%. Everything grows and nothing changes.

Where are people going for the autumn holidays?

Foreign destinations are traditional: Turkey, Egypt. China and the UAE, Vietnam and Thailand are also in the top.

The only change is that Egypt has become slightly more popular than Turkey.

Russia. Here, too, for the upcoming holidays, everything is unchanged:

Krasnodar Territory, Leningrad Region, Stavropol Territory, Kaliningrad and Nizhny Novgorod Regions.

Karelia, by the way, is not on this list.

Droplets are forced to admit that a family vacation with children in the autumn holidays becomes almost a luxury.

What happens in the summer?

But we have to rest.

And adults and their children.

It is not for nothing that folk wisdom says: “As you work, so you will rest, as you rest, so you will learn.”.

"Spinal cord"? I feel it

"Fontanka.ru" and TASS, as well as the mayor of Moscow Sergey Sobyanin in his Telegram channel told "Drip" that in the famous "Sklife" (at the Sklifosovsky Institute of Ambulance) last week was given a unique operation: for the first time in Russia, a patient was transplanted spinal cord.

If doctors had not performed the transplant, the patient could have remained completely immobilized. Now he feels good and has a chance to return to mobility.”.

But it's too early to rejoice.

According to Sklif director Sergey Petrikov, "it is too early to assess the recovery of the patient's motor and sensitive functions, further monitoring is needed.".

But doctors were able to achieve an important intermediate result: after the operation, the transplanted tissues remained viable, it was possible to provide blood supply to the donor site.

It must be said that the operation lasted TWENTY HOURS and required the participation of "neurosurgeons, microsurgeons, plastic surgeons, orthopedists, anesthesiologists-resuscitators and specialists in neurophysiological support.".

“Drips” suggest that everyone “hold their fingers” for the patient.

And how can one not agree with the great Hippocrates, who many centuries ago said: "Medicine is truly the noblest of all arts.".

It's tomorrow, my friends.
