Raygun, you lost me there, with the "depracating" comment, and the wandering into girls and chrysalis stuff
... but, don't worry about it. I can't figure out what you are talking about, so just consider me befuddled.
The last part of your post I do understand, and I have no idea whether he brought along a proper "car kit" or not. It did bother me that the poor mom had to nurse the 4 year old, which implies she had no food or water in the car...
Now, realize that I do live in a northern part of the country, and am not a city liberal.
Anyone who doesn't have an emergency bag in their car, containing the proper survival stuff, when traveling with an infant and a 4 year old, must be a candidate for the Darwin award. Given the educational level and sophistication of this couple, being that "dumb" doesn't cut it for me...
But, considering that they are from San Francisco, perhaps it never occurred to them that civilization just isn't everywhere there are "great views"?
I still hope the husband is found safe and healthy!.
Good Golly Miss Molly. What a world this would be if everyone were as smart as you.
And don't give me any crap about your old age. I turned 73 last May and have done quite well without your blather...
Well, I guess, its not all that mysterious why you're trying to comprehend what I said.
First of all I said it. Secondly, I made reference to "depracating" when I meant "deprecating", when in fact the matter revolved around "self-deprecating".
Its alright, though.
Do you think its o.k. to wish for hubby's best circumstances, and yet mutter expletives under your breath at how stupid he is? I do.
Let us consider in our hearts not our animosity, but our warmth towards our bretheren. Let us bring our animosity before the Lord and not let it muddle our own relations whilest we still draw breath.
Candidate for the Darwin Award?? They missed their exit and took a shortcut the mother found on the map that went to their destination and told him to take. When the shortcut turned out to be an impassable road, they turned around. The weather became bad and they couldn't get out. They are not from this part of the country and didn't realize the danger they were in, I'm sure. Good grief! The fact they were able to survive as long as they have speaks volumes to me that they are intelligent people. The wife is currently facing the fact that she may not ever see her husband again and you're nominating them for a Darwin?
His children survived, so he's not eligible. You have to kill yourself before reproducing or kill yourself and your offspring to get a Darwin.
Yeah. Up to that point the worst danger they ever faced was a spilled $tarbucks. We're all losing our edge.
