PSA: My near miss with a loose basalt column on the coast trail

A big chunk broke off right where I was standing (heart skipped a beat, no joke). Always test your footing on weathered rock formations, folks.

See this pattern where we overlook the emotional damage, @beth147.

Actually, sometimes people focus too much on the emotional side and miss the practical fixes. Look at a bad workplace. Talking about stress is fine, but changing the schedule or hiring more help does more. The real fix is often in the system, not just in someone's head.
