The problem of accidents (was:What is CRON)

[Guest guest]

The longer we live, the more likely that we will be in some sort of

" accident " whether it be tsunami, car, plane or falling off a ladder. My

next-door--neighbor, a careful man of about 50 went out for a what he

thought would be a pleasant spring weather bike ride the other day (helmet

on of course). He hit a bump in the road, and the next thing he knew he was

in the hospital with a broken shoulder, a few broken ribs threatening to

puncture a lung, and occasional fainting that the doctors couldn't find a

cause for. Turns out he'll be OK after a couple of months of recuperation

but it just as well could have turned out badly.

Even Walford couldn't have forseen that his stay in the Biosphere, what to

him was a great adventure, might eventually lead to illness and death (for

those who aren't familiar with this, see our file: DR WALFORD'S POSTS).
