It's Unpredictable

Some say chance, others attribute karma...
This week, the Professor of Crime discusses the one thing that cannot possible be planned
— chance. 

Funny about that, and you might write this off as coincidence, but some of the words on this column just so happened to strike a personal chord upon setting up this article on a rainy Monday morning some 30+ years later. Dad utilized an oncoming car as an example of assumed predictability, yet it was just that — an oncoming car — which, without warning, suddenly crossed the center line (and the entire lane) to smash head-on into my vehicle just a few months after the ink dried in 1988. Chance, or was I the victim of my father's karma? Hmm...

The column below first appeared in the Gainesville Times, June 21, 1988. As a liner note, it is printed in the former "NE Georgia" section ("B"), alongside local topics. Apparently, most of Georgia was suffering a severe drought at the time, and the adjacent article covered the devastation to Georgia's marijuana crops.
Father Time is amused.
