I realize that life is a risk, but I have no desire to fling myself headlong into the pit and rely on the fickle finger of fate not to point in my direction. It would be like the drunk who decided he could walk across I-5 the other nite. He didn't make it.

I mean you could have a car accident, same thing goes to trusting your life to a skinny nylon rope to descend into a cave, the rope might get cut from abrasion and you can fall to your death. We're all constantly tempting fate, again when you're time has come it'll happen regardless of where or with whom you are.

And, as I told Nico, I'm not afeared of going to Mexico. Used to go 5 or 6 times during the 60s and 70s. I'm just opposed to tempting fate.
