Called off, even where it was supposed to hit (the

Yes it is. Anyhow I thought I better send an alert when the
news came
as
'Extra' with high priority. Once in my life I missed to send an
alert
in an
other case when I could have, maybe should have, I will not see
that
happening again.


Better to cry "Wolf" once too often than to regret the omission?

Once is once, twice is twice and three times a habit as my teacher
of
Chemistry and Mathematic used to say.

Once is happenstance; twice is circumstance; three times is enemy
action.

And I grew up thinking it was Goldfinger...

I was thinking Fleming, too. Although Heinlein also makes sense.

Though on some days, Heinlein might have left off the first and/or
second bit.
