Suffered a lightning strike near the summit of Fairview Dome in Yosemite while rock climbing. Knocked us out for about a minute and my climbing partner had temporary paralysis in his hands for awhile (not good when you're rock climbing).

Two eight balls in a day. If i can offer one piece of advice, it is to stayy AWAY from snow
Did a 1/2g blow pin.... that was close..

The real close one was.. I didn't have my visor for my bike (bugs in eyes) so I took a side street.. I'd just left a stop sign and was at 16 mph..this car (1966 strato chief, old tank) went around a car parked partially on the side of road and he came into my lane and hit me he on at 50 mph.. I was thrown 50 ft...... when I woke up the ambulance was there and everyone was asking is he dead..fuck that was a bigger rush then the hit... that was in 1975 and 6 operations ago.... but I made it...

About 5 years ago I had a bad case of Crohn's disease. I had a major flare up which pretty much completely obstructed my small intestine about a foot or so past my stomach. I had the first surgery where they removed the diseased intestine and hooked me up to an ostomy. I was on the ostomy and iv nutrition for 6 months while I had 3 major infections resulting in sepsis. I was within a few hours of my death when I made it to the ER. I lost so much weight I went from about 140 lbs to 85 lbs when I stopped weighing myself because I didn't want to know anymore. 5 years later I am happy, healthy and strong.
