    A Dozen More Turns....

    Someone posted a link to this on teletips...pretty sobering.

    http://revver.com/video/310519/a-dozen-more-turns/

    Ran into the amputee feller on a plane to L.A. earlier this year. Overheard him talking to another passenger about his accident, which, I was familiar with as a friend of mine was the "Dr. from Dillon" who skied in after the accident. Chatted with him for a spell. Amazing guy.

    Some useful lessons.

    Thanks for posting that. It is an intense movie. Sad to see people die doing what they love when they could have lived. hindsight.

    I would say, very sobering. Funny how thoughts of my wife and kids run through my mind as I determine whether I am going to do a canyon on a particular day. Sad film.

    I second that, but why do we keep going and keep doing what we are doing even though the loved ones stay behind?

    Sobering video, We always think we can go a little further even when we know better. Be careful this weekend!

    Don't talk unless you can improve the silence.
    The trout do not rise in the cemetery, so you better do your fishing while you are still alive. SGH
