Life has it's ways.    :boxing:

I would very much like to die quickly.  I have seen too many waste away through dementia or cancer. 

I'm just not brave enough to commit suicide by motorcycle so I will stay off the Angeles Crest Highway on the weekends.  Especially now that people won't be giving warnings of impending doom.

A verse from a song by country singer Joe Diffie.

And as he ordered one last round
He said I guess we can't complain
God made life a gamble
And we're still in the game.
