I swear on my mother this just happened.

I often have so-called 'prophetic dreams' of stuff that I need to take care of, or be careful of.

Best to heed these kind of dreams when you have them. I have no science-based explanation, except maybe referring loosely to what Jung called the 'collective unconscious.'

I have always believed that intuition legitimately be called a sixth sense - you'll be puzzling out some problem, you know, and all of a sudden you'll have a gestalt where you just know the solution. That is one example. Your garage door spring is another.

The real issue with the garage door deal, though, is you had a guy who omitted the safety rope. He should have been trained better. This is the issue - I tell people this all the time - we are in a structurally scarce labor market where there are not enough Americans to fill all the American jobs (Trumpy doesn't see it that way, but I do because I am an economist who assesses labor availability for a living).

What this means is that, like with truck drivers, they used to know what they were doing. I got into a blizzard on I-80 going through WY, and it was terrible. I got behind a semi. This was years ago, and I figured the driver knew what he was about. This proved true, and when we got to Rawlins, we turned into a motel and I told the guy we didn't care, we'd take a closet if they had it, but we could not go on driving in the blizzard.

Now, pardon the pun, but these new drivers are straight out of a three week 'crash' course. And that isn't funny at all. It is dead serious.
