So...my friend goes out for a run the day after a long trip. The compound has a perimeter road about a kilometer long so he runs about 5 laps for something just under 3 miles. He decides to take another lap at a walking pace just to cool down. Now the road is in a square and part of the road is perfectly aligned east-west. Walking westbound in late afternoon he's walking into a warm, setting sun. There's no traffic on the road so he's walking down the middle of the road with his face raised to the sun and his eyes closed, peeking frequently to stay in the middle of the road. Very relaxing!
Wham!!
He suddenly finds himself impaled on a chain link fence! 'How the heck did that happen?', I ask him. He thought he was only half way down the long stretch of road. Well, he evidently zoned or dozed off and walked right into the fence at the end of the road! After looking around to make sure that no one had seen him walk right into a fence he continued on the rest of the walk. The only real damage was to my, er, eh, his self esteem.
