Don't you ever get "homesick" for the old route, where you could
peddle your "line" to a bunch of "qwick stop" merchants? Think about all you're missing. There's funerals for hold up victims,
petty health dept officials, telling you how to run your business, and
employees with their workman's comp claims ? That's got to be hard to
let go of.......
Don't forget those winter mornings, where you had to shovel snow,
before going to work.. "Oh the thrill of it all!"
Now you know just how someone feels, when they get out of prison....

Thanks, Don. Funny you would mention funerals. We just got home from a 250 mile round trip to a funeral for a very dear friend of ours, and of Escapees Chapter 6. He and his wife hosted our July rally in Fowlerville. In fact, he only made a few short appearances from his MH, because he had been released from the hospital only 5 days earlier with what they thought was pneumonia, and was very tired and weak. It wasn't pneumonia. Only 4 days after the rally he was back in the hospital. After 3 weeks on a ventilator he ran out of fight, and died Sunday morning, forever 61 years old. The autopsy reports aren't back yet, but every culture and every test they ran came back negative. They have no idea what killed him, or why he wouldn't respond to treatment.

Bob and Barb had just bought a new Monaco Windsor, had moved into it, and were in the process of selling their house so they could start their fulltime adventure. Now Bob is gone, and Barb doesn't know which direction is up.

How does a man of 61, at 6' 3", 240#, and rock solid, just get sick and die while the doctors stand by and watch with no clue as to why? Sometimes life sucks.
