foosnik, that is an amazing, and inspiring story. your comment on death, i too agree with. i see no reason to leave my body yet. i am and want to make the absolute most of this life! in fact i am deliberately forgetting my age. you're right, if your bored why live? it seems the longest lived and happiest people always have a new goal, a new challenge, a new adventure. it gives them a reason to live. natho, i admire the fact that you want to be happy. isn't that what we all want after all? why isn't a national park ranger a major dream? if you did have the world at your fingertips would you still do the same thing? hey apro 4x4, what is your dream car?
