[Boatanchors] WA7LYO SK

[J. Forster]

The big killers are heart disease, lung cancer, and colon/prostate cancer.

IMO, the reason those who get sick and survive is they get a scare and
clean up their act.

If you have a heart attack, you learn to watch saturated fat and blood
pressure.

If you have lung cancer and survive, you stop smoking.

If you get colon cancer, you stop avoiding colonoscopies.

YMMV,

-John
