That's called "dodging a bullet"

[snousle]

One more bit of excitement from the weekend. We went to lounge in the river at a nearby state park, where it would be quiet and cool. We had just parked our bikes when we heard a great crash, and saw a big cloud of dust appear about 200 feet distant. A large tree had fallen:



A few hours earlier and a little to the right, and the campers would have been flattened. The trunk curves and clips the corner of another tent about ten feet behind. Once fallen, it was completely immobile - you couldn't even budge it.

I'm glad it didn't end on a grisly note. It sort of set the tone for the weekend: Life is short. Party hard!!!
