You want to hear something stupid? My ex and I were in our 20's at White Sands; our house was on the perimeter, so we'd sit on the back patio many evenings just to watch the terrific storms that really weren't all that far away. Now in my late 60's I wonder if we weren't playing chicken with each other. Of course the beer probably made a difference too.

He was a professional photographer among other things, and once in the mountains I scooted out on the narrow ledge of a nearly vertical boulder with a drop of several hundred feet. My toes extended over the side, the ledge was that narrow. STUPID BEYOND COMPARE, but it made a dandy picture. Looking back now, I wonder if I wasn't also trying to convince him that he'd never be able to scare me, because he certainly tried his damnedest.

I'm absolutely certain that's one of many reasons I like President Obama so much, though; he's so unlike my ex.
