A few weeks ago there were some news about an accident happend at a smaller town close to were we live. Some worker was killed by an tradically accident getting in contact with some blank electricity earth cable while working.

Bad Luck? How can that happen? Why didn’t someone take care about the power was cut off first? 

That were thoughts coming up in my mind while listening to the radio news about …. The usual stuff for sure, and then I forgot about again.

Now today I got in contact with some older friend of mine. A former coworker at a position I had left ages ago. And reading her reply on a friendly line I had passed on earlier was somewhat confusing to me. Knowing her as an always friendly and happy person, I got immediately aware about something had gone wrong with or for her.

Today talking with her it turned out that this poor worker touching the wire was …. her hubby!
How sad and tragically is that?! I’m so sorry for her and her two poor little boys …..

As usual I listened to the news this morning.

Besides this annoying news about the Olympic torch run is going on to make trouble all over the word … thx god it is not coming to Germany! … there were two more really interesting news.

One was about a real tragedy!!! In which brewery truck had an accident and all 13000 bottles of beer were smashed on the road!! Cleaning up later on did took nearly all night - I guess they inspected each bottle separately? ….. twice!

But then there was this news about we will get our own space shuttle here soon!
Imagine … Mission Control in Speyer a town close to where I live?!

LOL no no … far away from that! But we have this Technic Museum at Speyer and as their newest attraction will be soon a russian Space Shuttle BURAN 002 they bought and now bring over all the way from Russia on waterways.
