In a flash everything can change from routine to emergency.
At 6:30 this morning a fisherman and his 14-year-old son were standing on a breakwater near San Pedro.
A wave knocked them into the water, and a bystander jumped into the ocean to try to save their lives. He succeeded in pushing the boy toward safety, but he lost his own life.

A quiet morning. A larger than usual wave. Two in the water and a split-second decision.
A life ended.
At least my little Thanksgiving crisis involved a cat, not a human. Someone's beloved cat.
At least I have so far not hit any pedestrian with my car or killed anyone while driving.
There but for the grace of God...
