which took place last week. I'll let my correspondent speak
for me. It seems Raful just never took a hint, as his wife
explains in a Haaretz interview:

"And he died at the age of 75, one misty morning in
August, suddenly, for no reason.
"That is perhaps the death that he could have wished
for. This may be a secret, but Raful simply never knew
how to swim. And he was almost deaf, but was
vehemently opposed to wearing a hearing aide. It was
simply contrary to his facade as a man. And what is a
man? It's someone who overcomes life. And Raful did
not hear the wave that sneaked up behind him, and he
was dragged into a stormy sea. Did you expect Raful to
wear a hearing aid? {shlomo comment: a widow's
delusional grief}
"You know what? There were portents of his death. He
had already lost three cars during the last year and a half
of his life, during which he was responsible for the
building of the port. He drove with them in the mornings
onto the pier in Ashdod, and they were swept away and
hit by the waves. I'm sure that he died in the place
where, had he been asked, he would have wanted. . ."
Barry? three cars taken by waves in 1 1/2 years? doesn't
this imply several things:
(1) why would he park in a place where he already lost 3
cars (if it was the same place), especially considering
the stormy day?
(2) what kind of "parking place" could have this type of
wave action? I lived near the shore and I never recall any
car being "swept by waves" and certainly not 3 in a year
and half.
