My mom has been dealing with a bunch of health issues lately so I've been spending a lot of time driving to Iowa and Chicago. If my ears aren't ringing and my voice isn't hoarse after those 4 and 7 hour drives, I haven't been doing it right.It's fairly low volume when we're both in the car, but when I'm driving by myself, it's Katy bar the door...full volume with me bellowing along at the top of my lungs at times.
I see that there are currently no tracked flights over Mauritania.It's go time! This will get very busy over the next four days.

And it's too bad. 20/20 used to be a terrific program.48 Hours, 20/20, Dateline etc are all like TV versions of the gross detective magazines of the 1950's and 1960's. God forbid that the networks could do "investigative" episodes on something other than murders. I sometimes get fooled surfing and than note it's just another voyeuristic crime story and not anything substantive.
including joint banking accounts...
...but then she began to question things. Who was this mysterious friend named SpottyP that she'd never met but kept calling his phone at odd hours?
We have all 3 of them set to record, but rarely watch any of them. They seldom cover anything but murders, and cover the same cases since apparently there aren't enough murders to go around.48 Hours, 20/20, Dateline etc are all like TV versions of the gross detective magazines of the 1950's and 1960's.

What's really gotten bad is CSI, IMO. It once was must watch programming for me and generally clever enough that the plot couldn't be figured out before the first commercial break, but without being totally implausible.
Do any of you all remember when the Black Hawk Down series came out in the Philadelphia Inquirer in the late 90s? It was a 29-part serial investigation into the Battle of Mogadishu. It combined written narrative, charts, illustrations, videos, and interviews. I read this and thought to myself, "This is what the internet can become and it is terrific."
No, I wasn't aware of it, would have been very interested in following it, although it was an extremely busy time in my life. I read the book by that title, and saw the movie, a number of years later.
Sorry about your mom...I hope she comes out on the good side of her ailments.
Cue the Twilight Zone theme...
This one seemed safe to post in here. Less risque'.Send her down to the ?mark thread.
Thanks. She's improving but she's going to need significant help if she ever wants to live at home again. She has a couple of friends in a local facility so that may not be a terrible alternative.
