Man, what a day! I swear, Lonigo really knows how to throw a curveball. So, I wake up, right? Sun’s shining, birds chirping, and I’m like, “Today’s gonna be chill.” Ha! Spoiler alert: it was NOT chill.
First off, I head down Via Roma. Love that street, but today? Ugh. Traffic was a nightmare. I mean, c’mon! It’s a small town! Why’s everyone and their grandma out driving? I’m stuck behind this old dude in a Fiat, going 20 in a 50 zone. Like, bro, it’s not a Sunday drive! I’m late for a meeting with some farmers.
Finally, I get to the meeting spot, this cute little café on Piazza Garibaldi. I’m all pumped to talk about crop rotations and soil health. But guess what? The farmers are late. Classic! I order a cappuccino, and it’s like the universe is laughing at me. The barista spills it all over the counter. I’m like, “Great, just what I needed!”
When the farmers finally show up, they’re all riled up. Apparently, some pests are munching on their crops. I mean, I get it, but they’re acting like it’s the end of the world. “We’re losing everything!” they shout. I’m trying to calm them down, but they’re just not having it. I’m like, “Guys, chill! We’ll figure it out.” But they’re all worked up, waving their hands like they’re conducting an orchestra of chaos.
After that, I decide to take a stroll down Via Cavour. It’s a nice street, full of shops and stuff. I pop into this little store selling local wines. I mean, who can resist a good bottle of Soave, right? I grab one, thinking, “This’ll help me forget the morning.” But then, I see the price tag. I’m like, “What?! This better be liquid gold!”
So, I’m walking back, feeling a bit better, when I bump into an old friend. Marco! We used to hang out all the time back in the day. He’s got this wild story about a goat that escaped from his farm. I’m cracking up, picturing this goat running down the streets of Lonigo like it owns the place.
But then, outta nowhere, it starts pouring. I mean, like, torrential downpour. I’m soaked in seconds. I duck into a shop on Via San Marco, and it’s packed. Everyone’s crammed in there, looking like a bunch of wet cats. I’m just standing there, dripping, trying to make small talk with some random dude. He’s talking about the weather like it’s the most fascinating thing ever. I’m like, “Dude, it’s rain. Get over it!”
Finally, the rain lets up, and I’m thinking, “Okay, time to head home.” But no! I get to my car, and it won’t start. Of course! Just my luck. I’m sitting there, banging the steering wheel, like that’s gonna help. I call a tow truck, and they say it’ll be an hour. An hour?! I could’ve walked home faster!
While I’m waiting, I decide to grab a gelato from this place on Via Mazzini. Best gelato in town, no joke. I get a scoop of pistachio, and it’s like heaven in a cone. For a second, I forget about the car and the crazy day. But then, I drop it. Yup, right on the ground. I’m standing there, staring at it like it’s my lost dreams.
Eventually, the tow truck shows up. The guy’s super chill, cracking jokes about my car. I’m like, “Dude, not funny.” But I can’t help but laugh. It’s just one of those days, ya know?
By the time I get home, I’m exhausted. I flop on the couch, thinking about all the craziness. Lonigo, you wild! You’ve got charm, but you also know how to test a guy. I wouldn’t trade it for anything, though. Just another day in the life of an agronomist, right?
