[pct-l] snake bite

[Bighummel at aol.com (Bighummel@aol.com)]

In the Northridge earthquake that killed 73 or so people here in Sth Calif.  
(note; 73 people dead in one of the most densest populated areas in the the 
U.S. in a 6.8 or 9 earthquake is incredibly low!) there was one rather strange 
story of a life taken in that event, very far from the epicenter.  A young 
mother (in Upland as I recall) had been shaken awake by the earthquake and heard 
her baby crying in the dark that morning.  She arose to comfort the baby and 
walked into its room in the dark, stepped on a small toy, fell and struck her 
head on the side of the crib, breaking her neck and taking her life.  

. . . and GOD said "I need YOU for a higher purpose" and blink  . . . 

Enjoy these precious moments,

Greg

All this talk about snake and other hazards reminds me of a true story.  
Years ago, my mother's best friend from grade school, Marion Vine, was killed 
sleeping in her own bed back in Rhode Island . . . she had just put her young son 
down for a nap, when small plane crashed into her house, killing her and the 
pilot (the child survived).  

This story has given me courage to confront my fears and get out of the 
comfort zone in life.
