It's good to vent ones head every now and then. Seeing new places, meeting new people and enjoying motorcycling is a really effective way to do that. Hopefully you get everything sorted out

Used to love Mad magazine. R.I.P. Al
Along with Antimatter and Dark Matter they've discovered the existence of Doesn't Matter which appears to have no effect on the universe whatsoever!

Me too. I grew up on the stuff in the 70s.

My favorite was the folding/last page, someone really had an imagination.

Thanks Ravi, the collection looks interesting.

I guess this was left for me, and with all due respect:
What Me Worry?
I went from a marginal reader in first grade to way above 'grade level' thanks to a summer of Mad Magazine.
One of my favorite sayings from the front page:
"A loaf of bread, A jug of wine, and thou, beside me
And hear I am, an hour later:
Fat, Drunk, and In Trouble."

What? Me Worry?
No more worries for Al. So long, and thanks for all the laughs!

...just saying.
Looks like all drug paraphernalia was removed too, if someone did enter before the police and clean up evidence of drug taking does that mean they also left a small child alone with a dead or dying person?

Caught this story as a news headline this lunchtime: heard "parents refuse to confirm heroin overdose" and immediately thought "So, it was an OD then".

Actually she did.

I think that was entirely the wrong lesson...

I agree but you can't keep people from harming themselves.
I have known a lot of people who did very dangerous things. Some lived and some didn't.
The one thing they all had in common was that they weren't going to listen to others saying how dangerous were the things they were doing.

I think "responsible people" try far too damn hard to make sure they can't, these days! You need a little risk in your life, and "small failures" make you more prepared for when the big ones appear.

Regrettably, so have I.
But there is "dangerous" and there is "stupid" - and the child ODing the same way her mother did is in the later category. It's like my mother's funeral: she died of cancer caused by her huge tobacco habit - but that didn't stop her grandkids lighting up the second they were outside the crematorium.

*Anything* is easier than bringing up a daughter. For example: building a particle accelerator in my basement, or designing my own space shuttle based on a Ford Fiesta, or translating War and Peace to Korean in iambic pentameter - all of these, comparatively speaking, a piece of cake.
