Jason, 
               I've lived long enough and experienced
enough of life so that I know, Sh*t Happens.
And no matter how careful one tries to be.........
Sh*t still Happens. So I do my best to keep
the Sh*t from getting deeper than my boots.
Since, when it's deeper than my boots and
it gets inside my boots, things get really
messy!!  So, I prefer to take a little time
to shovel myself a path thru the mire.
However, I've learned I have to keep my eyes
open and look out for Noodle Head who gets
his kicks by charging thru the mire with
his off road vehicle and destroying my
shoveled path and spraying me with mire
as I shovel.. :-}
