Well, if he can hang on for about three more years and move to Washington or NYC, he could probably go for the hat trick, if things keep moving the direction they seem to be headed.

I wonder if anyone has ever told him he's lucky?


If it were me, and someone said "Man, you are lucky!"

I would have replied with something like:

"Lucky? Lucky??? There are only two cities in the world that have ever been nuked, and I was in f*cking BOTH OF THEM WHEN THEY WERE!"

Sounds like a twilght zone episode.

Actually, there was a twilight zone episode like that, I think.  the titanic picks up a lifeboat from the Marie Celeste, and the last scene is the captian of the Luisitania picking up a lifeboat from the Titanic.

But you notice, the guy is 93 now.  He must not have got that badly damaged by it.
