LESS THAN 10%

 I assume there's been no nuclear Armageddon today.

I was asked by my sensible daughter?? was I expecting one? remember we were taught to duck and cover under our desk if there was going to be a nuclear blast whereas if there was going to be a tornado we were taught to go run and hide in the hallway. 

Kids nowadays are taught to lock the door to the hallway if there's an active shooter in the school?

I put the probability at less than 10%. At 78 years old that's about the same probability I'll be alive tomorrow.

When I think about the dumb stuff I did when I was young I'm shocked I'm still alive. So is everybody that knows me.

My mother taught me two things. Never back down from a bully even if you get beat up badly. Today I have no teeth well, actually four and a half teeth because I faced Art and Fidel Castro, refugees from Cuba, at my rope and tumble high School in Gary Indiana. Mom also taught me how to yodel so loud but I could call a group together in the South Dakota mountains for practice at the Dakota youth camp in rapid City. 

My father taught me how to drive on ice which is a skill he learned driving on dusty back roads away from angry mobsters because they were caught stealing their liquor, The older version of the dittmer Brothers. 

He also taught me by example how to sabotage a group through laughter, so here I am. My name is Mike dittmer AKA mad dog. Later Gators.
