I guess I was eluding to the frequency of incidents that we've been
seeing lately, and strayed from the focus of Rancho Murietta.


Frequency? I just saw a comercial on TV from some insurance company that
claims there is an automobile accident every 5 seconds in the US.
How's that for frequency...

0.2Hz


Did you know that, on average, approximately once every 5 hours 25 minutes
someone somewhere in the world dies falling out of bed? At least according
to this link:

Another good reason not to get out of bed in the morning!

And it seems more people die falling out of bed (1616) than in aircraft
accidents (1553):
