Secondly, there's that Mark Twain quote that someone here has in their signature line -- something about how, in twenty years, you'll regret the things you didn't do more than the things you did do.
And third -- why not? You only live once. Might as well have some stories to tell from the living of it. Here was a story I was going to be able to tell back home, to people who'd never even thought of doing it themselves.
So, do I have sympathy for the guy who got bulldozed? Yes. Do I admit he got himself into it, and knew the risks when he did? Yes. But man... what a story this guy's going to have to tell. And unlike me, he's got photographic evidence, seen by the whole world!
I'll add a fourth one fore ya: Chic's dig scars!
