I had been to lunch with a friend at Bon Ton on Poydras St., we were walking back to the office talking football. I stopped for traffic on St. Charles, he took a step in front of a van and was hit. Lucky SOB was knocked about 25' down St. Charles, he got up cursing because his suit pants were torn, ended up with broken ribs and a broken arm. The van got the worst of it, broken windshield, dented front. Buddy's new nickname, Van Damn.

I saw the 4 women jump from the Rault Center 14th floor in the 1972 fire.

I saw a grain inspector fall off a barge and get swept under it, spent a week searching for his body.

I was in Copley Square in Boston when the bombs went off April 15, 2013.

I was standing on Royal St in 1964 when a tornado spawned by a hurricane lifted the roof of a building a block ahead, placed it whole on Royal St.

Most amazing was seeing a 195' x 35' steel barge leap out of the Miss River like a dolphin. It had been dragged down with a loaded barge that sank, then it flipped over and dumped it's load of coal, now empty, it came up completely out of the water.

I'm old, seen a lot more shite.

Driving into a small town at night. I hear a weird crackling, a loud pop and bright green light lights up EVERYTHING. This alien green light fills the entire atmosphere, the entire night sky and the clouds, the inside of my truck, everything. At this moment I'm seriously thinking alien invasion or Armageddon. It was straight out of independence day or something. The light goes down, I notice the power's out, I look in my rearview and see green fire coming from a substation. I didn't even notice it there, it had exploded just as I passed.

At the lakehouse, my cousins are trying out the jetski. They coming flying towards the shore at 50 mph, everyone's freaking out and screaming their heads off at them. There is a 30 foot, very steep, like 80 degree unclimbable hill down the lakeshore. There are steps built into the hill going straight to the dock and a boathouse built into the hill right next to them. Beyond the boathouse along the hill shore is brush and trees. But there is a small lane barely wider than the jetski between the brush and the boathouse that is cleared. They hit this lane perfectly, missing the boathouse and the trees by inches all the way up this steep 30 foot hill and land safely on the jetski in our yard, the jetski still upright, them sitting there perfectly fine. The dock extends to the sides at the ends so there's not even a real way to hit that angle coming in from the lake. They are a few inches left or right, or a slightly different angle and they're dead. My Mom swears she saw angels.
