Time is On My Side


Earlier today I found a link to a site that helps you calculate your time left on earth.

According to Death Clock I will live to the ripe old age of 79.

This is comforting to know, especially since I escaped serious injury and possible death today on my ride home from work.

I was driving on a rural highway (Route 202) when ahead of me in the opposite lane a car drove out of control and sliced a utility pole in half. Power lines ignited into sparks of flames that shot out into the street. All this and I'm only about 30 feet away. But I wasn't worried a bit, because I know that I can count on my number coming up in the year 2042 not 2006. Geez, I wonder if social security will last as long as me?
