Wisdom does not always come with age in these matters, though. About 10 years ago a skunk was hanging around our yard on the farm. I decided to take care of it with my .357. It seemed like such a good idea I did not take the time to think about surrounding objects. I missed the skunk. But worse than that, the bullet ricocheted and did some minor body work to my wife's car. It's really bad when my wife has concrete evidence to demonstrate my poor judgment like that!
I'm not really that dumb but I really amaze myself at some of the dumb things I've done. At least I don't take myself too seriously and can laugh at myself.
Thanks, Mitchel for the secret recipe!
