anomalistic paradox

jean doesn't like driving on ice and snow -- she mentioned one time that she had driven on snow/ice somewhere when her son was a baby. she'd been stopped at a stop sign, and when she slowly started up, her car decided to simply slide down an extremely steep embankment. the car didn't turn over and neither of them were hurt, but the patrolman was amazed. he said if she'd been turned just a bit, she would have rolled and not survived.

it made me wonder -- how many people are dead, who (if they had lived) would have crossed paths with me? they would probably have been people i would have liked. and i would never know unless i had access to parallel worlds.
