Times change

Tribute to the east, where this effigy is for all to see. Ask Pablo, he took the photo and he is sort of more south american than me...

Libro perso - Lost book

Io, Stony Stevenson, nato il 23 marzo, Venerdì 23 novembre, alle ore 14:15 circa, sul treno regionale Bologna- Venezia, ho smarrito questo libro:

Tiziano Terzani - Un altro giro di giostra.

Al momento dello smarrimanto il libro non aveva la copertina blu come in figura qui sotto.

Il libro ha un altissimo valore affettivo, così come il sagnalibro in esso contenuto.

Entrambi recavano dedica: il libro, per il mio compleanno 2007, da parte di Silvia, Ilaria, Benny, Lucia, Gloria; il segnalibro, per il mio compleanno 2006, da parte di Denise.

Dovessi essere proprio tu l'attuale custode del libro, per favore commenta a questo post.

oppure manda una mail all'indirizzo che trovi cliccando nella schermata a destra su:

Le spese di spedizione saranno ovviamente a carico mio, e ti offro anche una birra!

Grazie e saluti.
I, Stony Stevenson, born March 23, Friday 23 November at 14:15, or so, lost on the regional train Bologna-Venice, this book:
Tiziano Terzani-Another round of carousel.
At the time the book was lost it did not have the blue cover. The book is of great value to me, as the bookmark in it. Both were presents and bore dedicas: the book, for my birthday 2007 by Silvia, Ilaria, Benny, Lucia, Gloria, the bookmark, for my birthday 2006, by Denise. Should you be the current guardian of the book, please reply to this post.

Thanks and best regards.

Peace did come by air mail

Just one of the nicest wall paintings I ever encountered. Really made me laugh.

He too can see the holy hand...

The Miracle of Mystic Dampness

As we all know Italy is a country rather prone to the miracle. I'm not saying that some things really make you look up rolling the old eyes saying "was it really necessary for You to arrange this situation?" even if you have never been aquainted with You. Others on the other hand, are simply those kind of events you would find at the edges of gaussian curve.

What is water? I'd say slippery molecules that don't like the cold.

What is vapour? Slippery molules moving faster than the ones I've just told you about. Can we see the wholy hand in all this movement? Can we guess the meaning of all this?

To cut a long story s, as Bertie would say, we have to travel to the core of south Italy, to the town of Gravina where pilgrims have come from the outer lands to see the Madonna Of Humidity. A miraculous manifestation on the window of the church. They see the hand...

Gauss, nevertheless would have said:

cold outside + damp and hotter inside=casual condesation of vapour on dirty window.

I say: Madonna needs a hair cut.

Villagers say: ohhhhhh....

I add: well, feel free of feeling better, and if this makes you tollerate life in yourself and yourself in life a bit more, take a bite: holy or not H2O can't hurt...
