I won't try to describe what happened in any great detail, but the upshots is that the young man became light headed and, before he knew it, wen right off the trail's soft shoulder--tumbling though the air to the horror of his companions and ending up crashing head first on a pile of jagged boulders several yards below them on the mountain slope. At that moment we all thought he must be a 'goner' with, most likely, a broken neck. But all of a sudden he lifted up his head, still conscious, and calmly declared, "I'm hungry!" The rest--except for the headaches he sustained for a number of years after while playing basketball--is gratifying history. Whether his hiking companions back then should have been imprisoned for child neglect is a moot question.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3460560150678644486.post-79210455756374084302013-08-24T07:03:30.187-07:002013-08-24T07:03:30.187-07:00I recently heard a story of a combined family goin...I recently heard a story of a combined family going on a trip to a town close by. The cousins were all having a great time together and often switching which family they were with. They all started back for home until one couple started asking around and realized that their son wasn't with any of the groups so they went back and found he was still in their vacation town.<br /><br />The parents were named Mary and Joseph ;-)<br /><br />RodAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3460560150678644486.post-82458905604316930212013-07-24T05:14:45.495-07:002013-07-24T05:14:45.495-07:00Hello, Please accept my appreciation of blog posti...Hello, Please accept my appreciation of blog posting here.
