Przewodów

Instead of celebrating “happy eight-billion-day”, last night took an ominous turn when news flashes suggested that a missile had struck the village of Przewodów in eastern Poland. Still frightened from having read Bruce Blair’s The Logic of Accidental Nuclear War fifteen years ago, not even my sarcasm above about the weather could shake the feeling that we are living through extraordinary dangerous times and that I do not like being 10,000 km away from the boys.

Waking up the news that the missile was probably a Ukrainian S-300 interceptor, the morning today felt less apocalyptic as I went for one last run along the Avenida Atlântica, a smoothie with Anna and some more rooftop swimming. Now all that remains is to pack up our stuff and head out to the airport where we plan to check out one of the few lounges that are operated directly by Star Alliance before flying home with TAP to Sweden.
