Six Rules of Thumb

1. In the forest, following the well-traveled path may get you runover by a moose. 
2. Group decisions normally favor inaction.
3. Old homes provide for an abundance of new problems.
4. If it was easy, I would be doing it.
5. You cannot underestimate the power of Murphy’s law.
6. If a fire department, three paramedics, four ER nurses, three ER doctors, and a new procedure saves you, it might be slightly disingenuous to say God saved you.
