If you say too many good things, or think too many good things, if it sounds like jealousy, the vaskania comes.

Probably because of some preexisting, but unstated philosophy: "If you love something (or if you're building something) someone will come to destroy it." Or should I say... "If you build it, they will come to knock it down." Some of the denizens of my hometown seemed to implement that philosophy in their lives. The vaskanias were a little hard to see, because they were often shaded under the brim of a tattered baseball cap (John Deere or Massey Ferguson logos, not team logos). >“I am.
