Bad Decisions Make Great Stories

Everyone has adventures and misadventures. They can range from a mild speed bump to life threatening situations. In the past three quarters of a century, Pat Moore has experienced more than his share of the latter. He has survived five parachute malfunctions, nearly gotten decapitated, fallen from a fast moving truck, escaped from an apartment fire, almost got hit by a train and was trapped in a cave. We're told that cats have nine lives. By his count, he's used that many.

What follows is a recap of some of his more foolish adventures. Sit back with your favorite potable and enjoy the ride.
