Updates

Later, 12:58 p.m. Central Time: a reader sent me this link, a report that the Russians had lost a MIG-29 off the a/c carrier. I replied: a third-rate navy.

Original Post
 
"The little tug that could" is now anchored in Tartus harbor. There are four other ships anchored in the harbor. Two more ships are ready to dock. The most recent ping was for minutes ago, approximately 8:59 a.m. Central Time. My hunch is that the a/c carrier remains off-shore.


The four other ships at anchor/docked are not relevant to this discussion.

The two ships heading to the docks are:
  • Osipov, Russian, unspecified, but looking at the photograph suggests a trawler - communications vessel
  • Liva, Czech, general cargo
For more on Tartus, see this post: http://themilliondollarway.blogspot.com/2016/10/update-on-moscows-club-med-october-21.html.  The heading in the screenshot is not quite accurate: Russia has had a naval facility at Tartus for quite some time; however, Russia now plans to convert that "temporary" naval facility to a permanent facility.

This is perhaps the best review of the new MacBook Pro I've seen.

David Pogue was an Apple fanboy until he wasn't, many decades ago.
