[Rhodes22-list] Sailing.

[Bob Weber]

Rummy, Been there, done that too.  Slipped on a power cord and took a ride 
down a pretty steep roof postrate and face first.  I stopped right before 
the gutter which was about 25 foot above my folks pool deck.  My likely 
splat spot was visable and my brain already invisioned it a couple times in 
that split second before I stopped.  I would have liked to have laid there 
while my heart restarted but it was July and I had burns on me face, hands 
and knees from the ride on 110 degree roof.  Boy did that pool feel good 
when I got down.  Never did go on that roof again, not enough tea in china.  
Live and learn, Hopefully my final lesson wont be too painful or particulary 
imbarresing.  My wife is convinced that I will make the "Darwin Awards" some 
day.  Bob
