Holy stale gigabytes, I sent this months ago!! Must have gotten lost in cyberspace! Failing to be able to get this posted is why I did the journal, now it shows up.
The article by B. J. Phillips is more readable here than at the rcn journal site which is a plus; she wrote a very tasteful article. The National Enquirer called me shortly after it happened but I declined their offer. Who knows how they would have treated it or who I'd be "sharing" the page with!!
I did get a free pair of Rockport shoes from the deal. They were running a contest 50 words or less what you experienced while wearing Rockports. Well, I was wearing Rockports (and a cut up the shoe continuing onto my ankle was the only external injury except for two almost bruises on my forehead and temple from the action inside my BMW helmet) so my entry earned me a free pair.
I also want to stress again the danger from cut threads in the end of the adjustment rod on non-aircraft cables. My home in Lansdale was a few miles from the Teleflex plant where the marine push-pull cables were manufactured (they had another over near where Homer lives) and an engineer came to check out the wreckage.
He explained to me that the cables fractured from the thread roots, which are cut - machined - rather than rolled with a rounded root (if it's still called a root) and that the one cable had been fractured halfway through previously, as evidenced by the polishing of the grain of the metal halfway through the cross section. I doubt if would be possible to see a crack in a threaded rod, so I personally wouldn't trust them in any application on an aircraft again.
