Contrary to popular belief I have not croaked, I was just too busy driving through Central Europe.
There, in Cesky Krumlov, I got a Kabbalah Wheel that promises protection from road accidents. Yes, you may laugh at superstition, and so did my family when I came out of the alchemistic mystery place.
Yet two days later we were walking a dark, noisy, and narrow pedestrian sidewalk inside a tunnel that connects Buda to Pest before the Budapest Chain Bridge when a muscular tattooed moron came flying at us in a Segway. The kabbalah wheel was in my back pocket as I was wearing the same short as in Cesky Krumlov (I seldom wash my shorts on a three week trip). It obviously protected me and my son walking right behind me. My wife was walking 10 yards behind us. I turned around quickly worried that, as everybody knows, the protection force fades with the cube of the distance. One wheel of the Segway rolled over my wife's left foot, the Segway lost its balance and the rider went flying out of control first high and then into the tunnel walls.
The rider thought we tripped him on purpose and started to utter Hungarian curses, but again either the wheel or my menacing face made him reconsider and he went away quietly.
My wife had a bruise for a couple of days but was lucky she was not hit directly.
The moral of the story is that the attached wheel could be a nice option for superstitious people if we can convince Stan to make a run of such alloy rims. Short of that I encourage folks to go to Cezky Krumlov and get one, or as a last resort print the attached picture and carry it in the wallet.
