How true. A garbage bag on the street in front of me is a decision to go around or take the chance and drive over it. And my wife and children just give me a look.

I was in a government building the other day that had really solid outer doors and a slight over pressure. We walked in the side door, which swung around and hit the door frame with a solid "whump" and the pressure went up. Both of the guys looked at me and asked if I was alright. They said my face went sheet white.

I was really proud that I didn't jerk and hit the floor screaming "incoming".

My father fought in Korea, and spoke of a hill called Ol Baldy where his best friend died. I had only seen him cry a few times in his life. The first time was when he finally talked about the war. My grandmother told me about a party they had hosted upon his return - a car backfired and he yelled Incoming! And threw himself over his mom to protect her.
