Brushes with Death I had a pretty harrowing experience white water kayaking two weekends ago. I drafted a post on the topic, but before I was done it was already 2,000 words. I may end up posting it here anyway. I'll probably at least put up one version. I've been contemplating trying to get it published in some sort of on-topic magazine. Who knows. So far, I have been too lazy to do much other than write the first draft. (The long and short of it is that I thought I might die - twice, but eventually walked away with just scrapes, bruises, and a whole lot of ingested Rocky Mountain cold stream water - but not Coors.) Last weekend I had a pretty close call that I didn't realize until well after the incident. You probably heard about the 40 ton girder that just fell and crushed an SUV with the two year old daughter, dad, and pregnant mother inside. According to that link, the report of the loose girder came in around 8:50 and the collapse followed at about 10:00 AM. We left the 7-11 at 9:15 headed for Vail. My best guess is that we passed under that doomed bridge sometime between 9:35 and 9:45 AM. By then it was surely already too late to prevent the fall. It's a little bit freaky. |
