Scampy Going Out
9:30am - Last nite at bedtime, I posted in my little note pad, "Take Scampy out on a trip!"
Putting something down in writing seems to be a way to get it done.
Who knows where we are going? We have not decided. But wherever we go, we will be out and about. And that's a very good thing!
Zaida comes to America
In Yiddish, "Zaida" means grandfather. In 1912, several months before my Mother was born, my Zaida left where he lived in what was known as Kishinev, Russia. He left his family behind until he earned enough the following year to bring them also to America.
Zaida made his way thru Romania, Hungary and Poland. Then thru Germany to the port at Bremen. Then by ship to America. Then to Cleveland where our relatives lived.
Why did Zaida leave Russia for America? Because being Jewish in Russia was a dangerous thing to be. The Russian government persecuted Jews. Gathered Jews up from all over Russia and moved them to what was known as, "The Pale of Settlement" [Link]
If my Zaida had not made the decision to move his family to America, there is little doubt that 25+ years later, I would have been caught up in the nazi murdering of Jews.

Why I am writing about Zaida now
All over the World, hatred of and persecution of Jewish people is happening. With increasing frequency.
During the time of the nazis, what nazis were doing to the Jews was not responded to. That ignoring of the threat to Jewish people cannot happen again.
Jews are the victims here. Not the cause of the hatred and persecution against them.
From where does this hatred and persecution of Jews come? You don't know?
1pm - Yucca Valley
Scampy and the team headed out from Lone Wolf towards the Town of Lucerne Valley.
At Lucerne Valley, are cross roads. To the right is Big Bear. Straight ahead is Yucca Valley. We decided to go towards Yucca Valley. Big Bear is up in the mountains. It's cold there.
3pm - Arrived Yucca Valley
Scampy is Afternoon Camped at the WalMart in the Town of Yucca Valley. Some Campbell's Clam Chowder was warmed up for lunch.
