Managed Danger Agreed There a great "Saying " in a movie "Shawshank Redemption" that I love . It had 2 main actors , Morgan Freedman and the other ......( I forget) Anyway it was ................."Get busy living or get busy dieing " Safety is a priority to me , but not dieing of regret or bordom is a close secound . I would hate to get to 90 yrs old and be full of "If only we had tried" Play safe and as Spock would say "Live long and Prosper" Pete
