Remember that 1960s TV show based on the premise that everyone on the planet has an identical twin somewhere in the world? I want to say Ben Gazarra (sic) was in it and every week they would have the same actor play both characters, one usually a hit man and the other an innocent patsy?

Well, I have often wondered what my life would have been like if my family had remained in Iowa. Well, a certain Robert Bell did stay in Iowa, Des Moines evidently, and as I watched this video of him, I was struck with how remarkably similiar our lives are (I raced motorcycles for a period in the 1970s) and virtually every racing metaphor (he spins out of control, he flips/heart attack) has a parallel in my own life:
