Me too. I have been struck by lightning (indirect) three times. Shot at twice. Once by Dad cleaning a gun and second by rancher objecting my disconnecting his phone line. Helicopter crash (pilot called it a hard landing). Attacked by pet alligator. Stalked by a cougar (big cat with big teeth). Stalked by a cougar (the other kind only lethal in some circumstances). Carbon monoxide from space heater. Front motorcycle tire blowout at 90 mph. Being in the Vertex room of a radio telescope dish and both myself and a co-worker assumed the other disconnected the dish from the array. Then there was almost being revealed as the informant that discovered two kilograms of cocaine and a stash of black tar heroine in a shopping bag from Mexico in a crawl space. And, then there was the time back in the 1950s when terrorists blew up a New York City Subway that me and my two brothers would have been one if we missed the train preceding that one. This terrorist thing is not new; not by a long shot. And then there are a few, "Sorry, I thought you were someone else." Here is the deal: if you go out your front door and you venture more than a mile from your house, bad stuff happens. Count on it.
