Anybody who doesn't think there's such a thing as divine providence...

...should consider the story of Tsutomu Yamaguchi.

On August 6, 1945, Mr. Yamaguchi was on a business trip to Hiroshima when the city was virtually vaporized by the first American atomic bomb to be dropped on Japan.

He suffered serious burns, but in the morning of August 7 he was released from the hospital and went home- to Nagasaki, where on August 9 he became the only known person in history to have had two atom bombs dropped on him.

Yes, that's what I said. Within three days, Tsutomu Yamaguchi survived the atomic bombings of both Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

He not only survived, but is now 93 years old. He does have a little trouble hearing out of one ear.

God, it seems, had plans for the gentleman that went well beyond August of 1945. On the other hand, some weeks it seems like it just doesn't pay to get out of bed.
