Or at least not since LOST:-) My cousin Geoff and I spent many happy hours helping each other escape from the quicksand. Of course there was always quicksand. What about stepping on cracks and breaking your mother's back? I still subconsciously avoid them.Deborah Crombiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16988750789088153601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-19283198822203746332021-11-13T12:58:49.064-05:002021-11-13T12:58:49.064-05:00Okay, I grew up in New Jersey - during the time of...Okay, I grew up in New Jersey - during the time of alien abductions. We also had a guy running around in the make-out spots in the Garret Mountains - he had one good hand and a hook for the other. We know about the hook because that's how he held the rope while he suspended the guys from trees. Upside down. Only the girlfriends hunkering on the floorboards of the cars survived. They never saw the hook-handed man! There was also a robot in the basement of Iviswold Castle that had been misprogramed and had a taste for killing kids who played hooky. Need I go on :). <br /><br />I have wondered about the Bermuda Triangle. Why it seems to have closed for business. I attended the University of Miami in the early 1970s. Flew through it regularly, sailed in it, boated in it, dove in it. We'd heard the stories, everyone knew someone, and probably the entire population of Florida was present at the take-off of Flight 19, but darn, I missed the opening of the Bermuda Triangle portal and always came home.

My big brother and I had to wait outside the hospital when my next sister was born. No kids allowed. So, there we were, parked under a street light, and Dad said to watch out for bats. They might be rabid and bite.

The threat of that was...Oooh, the permanent record. The threat of that was held over our heads for years. I'll bet as soon as we graduated it went into the trash. Mom made me paranoid about eating fish for years. She made such a big deal about choking on bones that I chewed the fish to absolute mush before swallowing. It took me YEARS to get over that! I was also fearful of the undertow whenever we went to the beach. Mom (again!) would warn us about it. I thought the undertow was an eel-like creature that would grab you around the ankles and pull you out to sea. When I was in college I would fly home for the holidays, Austin to New Orleans and back. I always hoped we did not have a side trip to Cuba as hijacking was popular for a while. I could just see it happening if I were in a particular rush to get back to whatever was planned. As for the Bermuda Triangle, do you think it was a victim of the Bermuda Triangle?Pat Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12732230586783432052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-53972172220041189342021-11-13T11:58:23.490-05:002021-11-13T11:58:23.490-05:00Oh, thank you for this!
