The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Spot on in choosing the name for your new site Manlobbi! And I like that you switched it up to "apostrophe m" since the term "dom" has some connotation that was clouding up the name for me.

One thing I also realized from his recent annual meeting was that he was actively applying his old saying, "just tell me where I am going to die and I won't go there" to his own life in literal ways. He explained how he noticed old people are falling and that is one of the main ways they either die or get incapacitated so he used the walker to avoid taking that unnecessary risk, then moved to the wheelchair for the same reason. Not because he has to be in a wheelchair, but for risk-reward reasons!
