I haven't had life insurance for 60 years. I finally bought the=20
insurance today. The problem is that the insurance doesn't take effect=20=

until tomorrow. What can I do today?

I understand that the house is a very dangerous place. I think that=20
driving around might be worse. Should I sleep at all? Should I fly all=20=

day? What should I do? What should I do?

If I get through this day, I am going to put spare wheels and hydraulic=20=

systems in the plane. That should stop my gear up and hard landings.

Now back to reality. I have taken off with something not sounding quite=20=

right and broken my plane on the way back in. I now try to make myself=20=

never take off when anything looks, sounds or feels out of the=20
ordinary.
