: Remember too what we think of as experience
: getting us out of trouble on some occasions was actually just dumb luck,
: which does not work every time.

Dumb luck served me well during my descent over the rapids. Will it help me next time?...well, that's where we start talking odds about lightning striking the same spot during different storms. Odds are, probably not, so what do I do now: depend on that anxious edge I get to feeling when something doesn't quite feel right. That feeling keeps me thinking clearly...it's that faint start of an adrenalin rush that fires up my brain and gets me to thinking that it's either time to push the edge or back off. So far I have backed off. I'll keep backing off till it's time to roll over to the other side (Read old age takes me).
