Yesterday, a lightning struck a utility poll 100 meters away from me.
It was Friday the 13th.
No soldier made a reference to the date as it's got no root in our culture and the event didn't cause anything bad other than a temporary electric blackout.
Furthermore, after seeing that the lightning didn't struck me while revealing itself so amazingly, maybe I should declare 13 as my new lucky number.
Hope to write you from Istanbul next week.
Until then:
