Danger and Trails

["Raymond O'Donohue" <rayo@cfw.com>]

An interesting subject!My observation of dangerous situations has 
often been that people such as my dear sister who is scared of everything 
at any time are sometimes oblivious to real danger when they encounter 
it.!Perhaps due to lack of practice!On the other hand,















         One guideline might be "is this neccesary?" Adventurous people 
have all learned how to ignore real danger ,         but I no longer will 
do that in order to have recreation or entertainment.And the danger 
itself(speaking here of truly,extreme,danger)should never be a part of 
that entertainment-that's pretty decadent.I used to road race motorcycles 
in spite of the danger,but there was no thrill or pleasure in the danger 
itself.I'm new to horses(2 years or so),but I ain't never gonna ride no 
narrow ledge!(Ain't gonna wear no spandex either,but that's a dead 
horse/thread.)
