Have you had a close one, accident, or health issues maybe?



A few closes ones in traffic that could have ended very badly. The one that made me chitt a golden brick was having 2 full maned lions jump out of the thick riverine brush 30 feet from me in Tanzania. I was unarmed at the time and it's a good thing they didn't really want me......

Wait.... was ice skating on a lake in Michigan when I was about 10, the ice broke and I went under. If it had not been shallow enough for me stand and stick my head out of the hole, I'd never have met those lions. That was bad.......
