Sunday night, phew...what a week. Tuesday noon when i was on the way to job [Duty calls] my motorcycle's engine stuck due to oil pump dysfunction, it's was an uphill so i didn't had many rpm, after a big S in the middle of the road [the rear wheel blocked] i manage to keep my balance and i didn't fell down. My heart almost stopped, my hands were tighten in the grips, i knew what's was going follow, a huge "baaaang" from the car behind me but for a strange reason the car that followed had slow down a bit so there was enough distance to step on the brakes. It was right behind my few second before, there was no reason to slow down, somehow he didn't accelerate [like i was doing]. I pulled over and i try to calm a bit thinking: if it was a downhill my speed would be higher so i would certainly fell down with catastrophic results and if i was in a main road with lot of cars of a bus behind me the results would be deadly. Even my good reflexes would save me, nobody can stop his car when the guy in front has such a bad moment. I though that was only for movies but it happened to me in daylight. I didn't said to family all the details, they have already agony when i am wearing my uniform and i go for my Duty.
Than God i am alive and healthy otherwise i would be in hospital or in the grave, i also had a big problem when Saturday night my refrigerator's thermostat decide that it was time to left us, i didn't slept till 04.00am due to my nerves, some goods from s.market gone and i was without cool water till i find after a lot of try and agony a mechanic to fix it today.
In the dinner i thanked God that kept me alive and i raise a glass of Deus [muscat by Cavino] to him and now i am smoking Esoterica Tobacciana Pembroke hoping that tonight i will sleep calmly thinking that this week is over and in the next the things would be better.

Tonight no photos with a pipe or with a pipe and cup of coffee or other object as background, for sure other people have much more terrible moments and tragedies in their life but for what i lived those seconds in the road i feel the obligation to say:

You were surely looked after Sid and I think I can say we're all grateful for it. God's got his eye on you. ;)
