| Well, celebrating the wife and I's anniversary today, went for a nice ride, got run off the road and saved it this afternoon at around 65mph. Had some pucker factor... ABout 20 minutes later, got pulled over 77 in a 55... was my lucky day the cop let me go with nothing. Got to the casino, won 300 of the penny slots, Riding the lucky train all day... until we went to leave. Pouring rain... well, slow and steady it would seem. About 10 miles from the casino, golf ball sized hail started hitting, no bridges and nowhere to hide. Cracked my helmet visor, but somehow didnt damage the king... Just had to let someone know about my good fortune tonight, I think the King is a good luck charm.  |

| You were indeed lucky. Much luckier than some of those to the north of you. |

| wow simplemindedjohn - that's a great perspective! I know some folks who would have looked at it from the glass half empty view... Happy Anniversary BTW!  We're going on 14 years ourselves, my how time flies! |
