You acknowledge the risk of what you're doing, you abhor what you're doing
at times, yet you're still drawn to it; are you willing to share with us why
you think you are drawn to storm paddling? if not, I understand. I don't
mean to turn this into a group therapy session, but I'm honestly interested
in what motivates you and others like you to chase storms, and whether or
not you truly believe the associated risks justify the perceived benefits.
I'm surprised the author of Target Risk didn't use you as a case study, or
did he?
