Back in the 80s I was following a dump truck at approximately a legal interval, when I observed a rock about the size of my fist that was stuck in its rear dual tires dislodge and bounce off my hood directly in front of me. Fortunately it bounced sideways, and knocked the outside rear view mirror right off the car. So in a sense, I am already living forever.
