so last night I was supposed to show a house to a pilot

Posted by crash davis (aka crash davis) Apr 7 '17, 12:00

I showed up right before the appointment and he wasn't there. About 15 minutes later while I was waiting in front of the house, my cell phone rang.

It was the pilot apologizing profusely, saying he was leaving the base now and would see me in ten minutes. He said he had an emergency meeting. I outwardly was calm and told him that I understood while on the inside I freaked and thought "NORTH KOREA"

Then I remembered that when working out our schedule for today he had told me that his flight had been scrubbed. I thought the meeting was probably about some stupid maintenance issue.

We looked at the house and he decided to take it. But 45 minutes after he arrived the missles fell on Syria.

So I had a warning but I failed on my chance to be prescient
