Why?

A joyous outcome and celebration of life.

Recall the return of the prodigal son.
Times thirteen!

If all but one survived, I’d assume they went Donner Party.

True.
But they can watch the replays of the highlights and fast forward past the adverts.

I would expect no less of an assessment from Brother Laz.

And how did you overlook the great Alferd Packer?

“Stand up, Alferd Packer, you voracious, man-eating s— of a b——. There were seven Democrats in Hinsdale County, and you ate five of them. I sentence you to hang until you are dead, dead, dead as a warning against reducing the Democratic population of the state.”

Got the itch for a quick strike posting?

Has a new question been born? "Would Laz eat it?"

Hmmmm Image and video hosting by TinyPic, maybe not a new question after all!

Found alive but not rescued yet.:

Excerpt:

All of them are safe, Narongsak Osottanakorn confirmed, speaking after a mammoth search operation in the Tham Luang caves in Chiang Rai.

They were discovered by naval special forces, he said. The challenge now will be to extract the party safely, with rising water and mud impeding access.

Yes, they are not home and fed, but they will be soon.

Amazing grace! How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found;
Was blind, but now I see.

Actually, it’s not all that hard to do in a big cave.

It’s a maze, and if you don’t leave some marks along the way, you can truly get lost. Easily.

Leaving some boy scout type hiking markers is a must.

Leave them in reverse, directing toward the next marker closer to the exit.
