Hodie io habeva un accidente multo terribile, nos al norde del statos in Nove Angleterra es in le medietata de recuperar se de un del pejor tempestas de galcie in tote iste seculo. Hodie sexanta libras de ille glacie cadeva super mi capite! Io esseva in le ministerio public, vadente de casa a casa in le parve citate de Keene Nove Hampshire, ubi il ha un multitude de tectos de casa fabricate con petra ardesia, "slate roofs", e quando le calor interior del casas mollifica le superficie del tecto bastante pro le massa de glacie super ille pro esser liberate... grande quantitates del glacie super le tecto descende in un grandissime crash! Hodie io habeva le infortunate experientia de esser justemente sub un tal avalanche de glacie, quasi sexanta libras de illo in un lamina grande cadeva super mi capite e rumpeva se in grande pecias... illo causava lascerationes del scalpa e del facie e varie tuberes del colpo super mi olla cranial... Io quasi perdeva le conscientia per varie secundos mais io poteve mantiner le fortitude de non cader in retro super le scala al casa. Le glacie cadeva desde le tecto super le secunde etage e per su grande velocitate, le ruito strepidentemente paralyzante fortiava a varie passantes a mirar in mi direction e illac io esseva in le medio de un cascada de glacie. Io auscultava un persona dicer "My gosh is he ok?!" Io solmente poteva dicer "Oh, my goodness oh, my head!"... Mi berillos esseva a metro e medie de mi pedes; il habeva grande pecias de glacie in un grande circulo e le cappucio de mi parka conteniva varie pecias de glacie intro illo. Quando io vadeva al sala de urgentia del clinica hic in Keene, con sanquine al facie e un dolor de capite enorme, un altere del personas in le sala sperante tratamento me diceva pro alleviar le difficultate del situation, "Oh look, your hood is filled with ice! Was the sky falling?" (Oh mira vostre cappucio es plen de glacie! Il pare que le celo cadeva!") E nos rideva, io nervosemente mais multo grate que io lo superviveva, gratias a Deo! Hic in le statos alcunos dice le phrase "Knock sense into someone" (Colpar senso in alcuno) Io spera que iste experientia non esseva in vano. :-))) "Ay ay ay, canta y no llores..." Dolorosemente fatigate, mais con un humor amical, Jay B.
