Why is it these things happen?????
A lot of years ago I came *this close* to getting hit by a train. It was late at night and I was on my way home from work. It was at a crossing without warning lights or a gate. As I was going over the track I saw the light from the train. It scared me so much that I always am super careful now.
I was pretty young at the time. Close calls are sometimes good life lessons.
