It's hard to read that without thinking of Blanche DuBois in Streetcar Named Desire saying "I depend on the kindness of strangers." (in two-ton cars). Sorry!

I've never been hit from the rear, either, nor the front (except by a stupid woman on a bicycle who cut right in front of me and crashed right into me). Knock on wood.

With or without a mirror, there is definitely an element of luck in what we do.

Here's hoping that all of us have good luck.

Best,

Nick
