this is the best thing I’ve seen all day.

So I’m writing today and I decide to look up interesting road trip stories for inspiration.
I type into google “worst thing road trip”.
The first link is of course yahoo answers, which is always a bunch of baloney (amiright?) but I click anyway.
The question is “What are the worst things that can happen on a road trip?”
There are but 2 answers.
The first answer says that boredom is the worst thing that can happen, so bring a bunch of good music and audio books to entertain you, and a gps, blah blah, road trips are fun, yay, etc.
The second answer, from “Top Contributor” Patti, is this:
“You can have a wreck and die.
You can have a wreck and be hurt badly.
You can be carjacked & kidnapped & murdered.
You can have serious car trouble and not have enough money to finish the trip or get it fixed and get back home.
You can get lost in a criminal neighborhood when there are detours.
If you have kids they can fuss & fight the whole trip.
You can get stricken with diarrhea and have to stop and stay somewhere till it’s gone.”
The second answer was rated Good by 3 people, the first was rated good by only 2. Harsh reality wins.

this seems way overdue, but better late than never.
One of today’s powerful topics on Larry Mantle’s daily KPCC call-in show “Airtalk” was How Do Smokers Deal with the Stigmatism of Smoking? Jennifer from Los Feliz (my turf) called in and described how, as a smoker/pregnant lady, she would have her partner walk ahead of her to protect(?) her from all the insults and disgust that the general public would cast in her and her belly’s direction. (Pw! Pw! Her partner deflected it all!) She also went to more “open” cultures where pregnant smoking is ok… she cited “Montreal”.
LM, as always, was thankful for her response, and praised her for being brave enough to share her experience [as a dumb dummy]. Me, I’ve got my eye out for you Jennifer!! I hope you look like Betty Draper.
