    I quite firmly believe "thinking" never entered the equation....they're damned lucky it wasn't a highball barreling through...

    What it should say is NARROWLY misses, as in doesn't get hit - "nearly misses infers he didn't miss getting hit.

    True: I thought the same. These days phrases seem to suggest what once was considered rediculous: like 330 % cheaper or twice as cheap instead of 1/3 or 1/2 the price. It all makes me look twice or thrice & dyslexia already does that.LOL

    It is very common on NEWS TV & Radio.

    Cheers

    Hi Gang:
    Did you all notice the dual gauge track? This may be in a part of the world that railroad right of ways are common paths for everyone. Remember that video where they fold up the market when the train comes?
