Never mind. Don't answer that.
That was my first real life experience involving myself in a completely avoidable and potentially lethal situation due solely to a total lack of thinking.

Ha! I wasn't implying foolishness on your part at all. I can only point the finger of dumbassery towards myself in both my instances! I was thinking more along the lines of sharing my stories due to "seemingly innocent situations that quickly evolved into potentially lethal situations where I needed to stay calm. " Only in writing mine down did I again remember, I was the original fool that got myself into those predicaments.
It is interesting how situations can escalate- not having a tool kit or a flashlight for a roadside breakdown for example becoming a real emergency when it happens. That kind of stuff.
