At approximately 11:30 PST will be the second anniversary of the stupidest thing I ever did. Known as The Incident.
On the left is a photo taken about 5 minutes before the incident in my beautiful Sonex. Up until then everything was fine and dandy. Then a sudden quiet as I figured out just how stupid I'd been. Out of gas at 3500 feet. That left me with about 7 minutes to figure out what to do and then do it. In the meantime, Einstein's gravity ruled.
On the right is a photo showing the result of Einstein's gravity and my stupidity. That's me lying on the ground. My head is being stabilized by EMT Dick Deboer, bless his heart, who fortunately for me, happened to be passing by. I will be eternally grateful to him. He probably kept me from being a quadriplegic for the rest of my life (which he may have saved). But I'm slowly stumbling back to a semblance of normalcy.
Stupidity and gravity are proof that we're all on this flight together.
Dick
