Hi Linda, Just a reminder about all the people, young and old, who have been killed or maimed by -- accidentally falling trees ! People know how to cut down a tree, but "accidents happen." And, yelling, "TIMBER !!!" doesn't always allow a person to get out of the way ! And there were a whole lot more trees and forests in past centuries ! But, people trying to cut down a tree right now - without doing it properly - get killed. Even the large branches can kill you ! As I drive around MA and NH, I'm on so many roads -- where large branches grow right across the roads. And that is so dangerous. Wasn't it about 6 months ago when a man was driving on a NJ major highway (US) -- when a large tree fell on the car - killing everyone in the car. He had only gotten on that highway for one exit ! They say that - "When it's your time ..... !" Betty (near Lowell, MA, USA) During the 1980's, I read a lot more books than I do now. I most read history or self-help books, or about the "paranormal." One thing I learned is that many people believe there is a "big book in the sky." It is called the "Akashic records." And, every human on earch has their date of birth and date of death written down in that book --- BEFORE those events happen ! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akashic_records ----- Original Message ----- From: "Linda Mock" <lindamock@webtv.net> To: <can-usa-migration@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, October 04, 2009 4:30 PM Subject: Re: [CAN-USA-MIG] CAN-USA-MIGRATION Occupational injuries /deaths > Hi Listers, > I would think that our early ancestors faced a life more periolous than > now.
