I was walking by a muddy stream, not really looking where I was going when I tripped over a log fallen across the path. As I was teetering on one foot, I noted that the log moved- not a log after all! Somehow my body performed the necessary adjustments to keep me on my feet, which then took charge of getting me the hell out of there. As I ran, I heard that unruly alligator grumbling behind me, “almost, almost.”
