Subject: RE: BS: KISS keep it simple
Amos admired links most but my personal experiences while true may be outside the possibility of most people. What has been my normal reality would seem impossible to others.
My friend Roger McCall one evening was seated next to his future wife Debbie and I was across from them both, Suddenly he was struck with a look of abject terror and shock. He was beyond speech and despite pleadings from Debbie "What's wrong??" Roger's mouth was gaping wider than I have ever seen while he stared at his own solar plexus as his hands spasmodically grasped air. The entire episode lasted nearly a minute and caused a full panic among us all. I can never forget the agonizing shape of his face and mouth I had never seen in anyone before.
When he recovered from this strange seizure he could not answer what had just happened. Ten years later I learned that he had been shot and killed from a close-range shotgun blast to his solar plexus while collecting rents.
