I felt that I should share this with you. It's relevant, somehow, to our interests, esp. longevity issues. Causes of failures pie chart is food for thought. 29% ?!?
And move over, Dr. Grande. THIS man gave up a career in comedy.

True insanity is driving on today's roads at today's speeds playing chicken with 50 incompetent drivers per minute on their phones with only inches between you and a head on collision. Nope! Give me the wide open skies any day of the week thank you very much!
