Me either. It's amazing what you can rise to if you've prepar for it,
though. I think the mind just goes to that program and excludes the
extraneous stuff. My mother was an ambulance nurse and used to go
clean up road accidents in the middle of the night. Took me to one
once to get me to be more careful driving. it was very gruesome. Two
teenage boys about my age killed driving drunk. Yet she used to freak
out when I brought home snakes and frogs. I asked her how she handled
the gore at the accidents when she was so squeamish the rest of the
tiime, and she told me "when you know what to do it's different"

Your Mama is one smart lady!

Not quick enough to keep up with me, though..

That is your problem, not mine (or his).

The fact remains that you put words into my post that were not originally
there.

Expecting an emergency (in the sense of assuming or taking for granted that it
will happen) is a variation on target fixation. In target fixation, if you
look at something, you will tend to steer towards it unconsciously.
Similarly, if you expect emergencies, you will tend to steer towards
situations in which they occur.

Logically, if you truly expect an emergency, you should never leave the ground
in the first place.

This is quite different from being prepared for an emergency.

Pilots PREPARE for emergencies, they don't EXPECT emergencies.

Shove your psycho-babble where the sun don't shine.

Yes, that was my point.

Get back on the horse and do it soon. The longer you wait the harder it
will be.

Another one bites the dust.

I'm afraid we've lost him, dammit.

Hardly.

Your point, obvious to all, was to denigrate those that do that which you
wish you could do but are too fearful to even try.
