Pretty much what Sweder said. A tragic tale, but one of those priceless glimpses into someone else's world that enrich us all. Your universe sometimes seems like a Peter Greenaway movie, BB, with larger-than-life characters doing dramatic things in small movements. I've said this before, but it's in the minutiae of our lives that we find the most meaning. Not that I'm suggesting this was a small incident to Rafael or his family. But the understated chronicling tells us it was just one of many terrible things happening on this day in this world. Briefly, though he didn't know it, he became an Everyman. The bell tolled for him alright, but for the rest of us too. Not sure if the mood of the writing was intentional, but it made me think beyond the boundaries of the tale. Thanks.

I wrote that after polishing off a bottle of Chianti.

Does it show?

Big Grin

I knew you were pissed last night! Big Grin Good for you.

BTW BB a chap on Twitter - @ebierzo - posted a link to your piece this am (in response to a link I posted there yesterday). It reads:
Extraordinaria Narración sobre pasado accidente en puente sobre el Sil RT @Sweder :Terrific post on (twitter url link to post)

So you may have notcied a few more hits than usual. If it brings more/ new BB fans to the site, so much the better. Your stuff deserves a wider audience IMHO.

The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph
