So can cars collide and sun cause sun cancer. I know someone in his 80s who stepped in a hole on a golf course in his retirement community, broke a hip, went downhill from there, and died.

I will continue to let my dog out in the backyard, let my grandchildren play on the side patio and backyard, and feed the birds and grow my Meyer lemon and flowers.

This doesn't mean I won't drive a car, play golf, go to the pool, etc.

I will use reasonable caution doing all these things, but of course stuff can still happen - that's called life.
