Baltasar Gracian "El Discreto"
Aphorism #36
KNOW THE MEASURE of your luck: either to play upon it, or to get out from under it; more important, far, than to note the weather, for if he is a fool who before forty has not turned to Hippocrates for health; what greater fool, he who by this time has not turned to Seneca for wisdom.
It takes great skill to manage luck, at times through patience, since there is merit in patience, at times through push, for luck has moments and moods: even though they are hard to recognize, so irregular her course.
Let him who finds her propitious, strike, for luck loves the bold; as gallantry loves the young.
But let him who meets her otherwise do nothing, let him retire: lest to the bad luck prevailing there be more from afar.

Cerca de uma centena de pessoas, a maioria das quais moradoras na Freguesia do Capelo, Ilha do Faial, reuniu-se ontem à tarde em vigília, numa homenagem à jovem encontrada morta sábado, provavelmente vítima de homicídio.

The Stuff I was addicted to, back then... strange haircuts, all black 2nd hand clothes... and a lot of other things mixed in between.
The New-Wavers... we were.

Yesterday, in my village, a young girl was shot 3 times in the head. She was 19. The main road to my village has been cordoned off, it is a forest road, not many houses are along this road. There is no leads to this crime as yet. Her body is apparently still there, while the local police await for more experienced police to arrive from mainland Portugal. This sort of thing has never happened here before. Our village is quite a peaceful place to live. The girl came from decent families and never ran around with the wrong sort of people.
