*I was a camp counselor too

badger

I've had a couple, one with a rattlesnake sunning itself on a rock in a path we were hiking (luckily it felt us coming and slithered away after rattling at us for a very tense moment), and another with a dog scoping me out during a walk (got a creepy feeling and turned to see him focused on me... if you know that look you'll have goosebumps like I did... crooned something soothing in a high-pitched voice, then turned my back and walked 'confidently' away - praying he would not come after me and TG he didn't.  Haven't seen him since then so maybe he was lost & scared.).

One time I KNOW I had an angel at my shoulder was ...

WellWater

at a gas station....I had just put the nozzle in and noticed the young boy on the other side trying to get the nozzle out...mom got out of the car talking on a CELL PHONE and had a lit CIGARETTE in the other hand...and that was the hand she reached down to take the nozzle out with.  No explosion - wow.  Same day....next to a dump truck going around a curve...I was in the right hand lane and for no particular reason slowed down so that the truck took the curve alone....truck was full of rock - and it toppled over on its side.  Had I been next to it, I would have been crushed.  I consider that day to be the luckiest day of my life.

Windlass.....gentle hugs for you.  I always took a small cooler with snacks (yogurt, fruit, crackers) because when they hooked that bag of steriods up, I was ravenous!  Hope your s/e's are minimal.

Staying with fish.....tartar sauce or melted butter to dip the fish in?
