I think the biggest mystery . . . for all of us, is "why are we here?"

A slightly less cosmic answer might be (and I've alluded to this incident in both of my books) is that I (and some other folks) saw a guy kill himself by jumping off a bridge once. I just happened to be running in the area where it happened. I always wondered what led the guy to take that step. I've even tried to research it online to just see who he was etc., but I cannot seem to find any articles or anything about the incident. This occurred about 10 years before we had the Internet or cell phones etc... so you couldn't just instantly Google things.(less)

As my eyes adjusted to the overhead fluorescent lights, the deep husky voice of a man in the bunk below says, "So, what'd you say you was in for again?" (less)
