Back yesterday from a very busy week in Tel Aviv. Experienced at least one or two near death experiences on the Ayalon Expressway-where I expect it, and one in a place where I did not expect it at all. There was a lot of tension due to the murders in Jerusalem at the Synagogue. So much so, my plans to visit Jerusalem had to be scrubbed when my employer placed the Old City off limits. Which was indeed a disappointment.
And then there was that one night in Mike's bar on the beach, when this happened:
Seems some patron finished his beer, grabbed his keys and walked out to the car-and then promptly put it in reverse and gunned the gas. The beer had nothing to do with that I am sure. (sic).
Inside the place felt like a bomb had gone off-it made a really loud noise. since Mike's has been the recipient of a terrorist attack-the idea of it being a bomb is not out of the realm of possibility. Its lucky there were not other people on the other side of the window.
Mike's being Mike's-they pressed on and continued to sell drinks. IN fact by the end of the week I was there-they had the damage repaired. As for what happened to the driver-I have no idea.
Tomorrow it is back to the normal grind again.
