I’m transmitting from Poznań, western Poland. Here I am, for forty years I got used to world without war nearby - and it doesn’t take long to get used to a good thing.
And today morning I start reading about the Kiev airport being shot at… Antonov plant being captured by the airborne - that just plain sucks.
Three hours ago I thought maybe I should fill the tank of my car up, just to avoid paying more, as the oil prices are already going up… Looks like I’m not the only one with that idea - the lines at the gas stations already start forming.
So it’s a sad day - and I wanted to let you know how quick things can change for the worse. One thing for sure - we’re cursed with living in very interesting times! Let’s hope for the best and prepare… Thanks for reading and take care
There’s much I could write here about the invasion. We all have our own opinions but I rather not express them here. Our hobbies let us escape the horrors of the world. Stay safe Pawel.
As to fuel prices, ours are going to take a big jump, even though very little if any comes from the region. Some is due to other countries paying more per barrel, and some from flat out greed.
Along with everyone else, wish you the best, and keep your head down.
Thanks a lot for your kind words, friends and let’s remember I have it so much better still than the poor Ukrainians, I mostly mean the civilians. Take care
Hey Pawel, I am thinking of you. Both my parents and a few aunts and uncles were born and lived in Poland during Nazi occupation. Both my parents were in Nazi work camps.
You are in my thoughts and prayers. Praying for peace.
Stay safe Pawel, and I sincerely pray that this thing going on does not completely blow up into the surrounding neighborhood. My thoughts go out to the people of Ukraine.
Here in the US there are so many people who have family or history back in Europe. We all care A LOT about what happens to you all and keep you in our thoughts and prayers.
One of my current clients has a son and daughter-in-law in Ukraine. He could leave but she couldn’t, so they are both still there.
Thank you so much for your kind words, they mean a lot to me. The night was quite peaceful in Poland, unlike Ukraine. I read that thousands of refugees are coming to eastern Poland. I wonder what the economy will do now. Until now Poland was getting all the oil and most of the gas from Russia, I wonder if this is going to change now…
Like I wrote - interesting times…
Thanks again, I’ll keep you posted and have a nice day!
Hi Pawel, You are in our thoughts and prayers and certainly those in Ukraine that are suffering so much are as well. It has been rather busy in this area lately. Several thousand ground troops and several more F15s have deployed to Poland recently. Hopefully these terrible events will cool off quickly. Stay safe and perhaps some bench time is a good distraction.
Yeah Pawel, good luck and God bless you, your friends and family and the people of Eastern Europe. Hope this mess blows over soon with a minimum of pain and suffering. (There’s been enough already…)
