As you may know, I was struck twice by cars this summer in Chicago. Then, several weeks later, in New York’s Williamsburg neighborhood, 2 chunks of rock (or plaster) fell from a worn-out building to the sidewalk, two paces ahead of me. It was quite a shock. It took a moment for me to realize what happened and what was avoided. Since that late August day, I have not been hit by anything else. I have healed from the car accident injuries (no thanks to ATT) and am grateful to be healthy.
