Interestingly, I have a friend who in the span of about a year had lightning strike about a few metres away from him then also narrowly avoided being mauled by a grizzly bear (another friend of mine was not so lucky with the bear and was mauled--but survived with some injuries--here is the CP thread on that attack http://forum.calgarypuck.com/showthread.php?p=161988). In the intervening period, my friend was also charged by a bull moose and had to dive into a lake to get out of the way. So, would you say he is lucky or unlucky? This all happened in Alberta and he lives in Calgary (and he and his family are long-time Flames fans). |
Mrs. Cowperson walked away without a scratch after her car was it and destroyed by a drunk driver . . . . . and then she was charged by a bull moose in our yard a few years later. A growling, head-swaying bull suddenly appeared from behind a hillock and swept by her, myself and our dogs when we were out in the middle of a pasture without cover for a mile in any direction . . . . also an underwear-soiling moment.
You live long enough, stuff happens.
