Found this today – That Daily Shower Can Be a Killer – and it brought up an important point.
From the article – ‘This calculation illustrates the biggest single lesson that I’ve learned from 50 years of field work on the island of New Guinea: the importance of being attentive to hazards that carry a low risk each time but are encountered frequently.’
it’s a relatively short article, but the point is – be aware of the ordinary (mundane) events around you, and prepare for them, while not stressing about the spectacular events that statistically will not affect you (but would make the nightly news).
