A pointless endeavor...

So there I was sitting on the side of a dirt road, with two cadets trying to find a tiger zoo when we saw the tank coming down the road......This is actually a true story from my life.

I attribute most of my success at survival to Douglas Adams. His words from the hitchikers guide to the galaxy of "Don't Panic" have been a mantra at times of my life.
