Whenever something fails, the natural inclination is to ask "what could I have done to prevent this?"

But sometimes things just fail. They get old. They wear out. They weren't perfect from the start.

It happens.

Very true. Kinda like we are getting old and the inevitable end of the road will happen but we hope not today. That said the cable served me well, God rest its soul.
