Still no news about the submarine.

Good morning, friends.
I don´t really know why I always start my day watching the news.
Today, one channel was talking about how much grocery prices had risen. I changed the channel. My salary does not go up and I still have to eat.
In the other channel they were talking about the lost submarine, the one who had gone to look at the remains of the Titanic.
I don´t understand people
I don´t understand the many people that have died because they have jumped from a bridge tied to a rope but the rope was longer. Or the many that navigate in rivers that are not made to be there with a canoe. I can name lots of "sports" that seem to be part of a death wish.
I never had one, not even when I was young. I never wanted to climb the Everest. I´m not even interested in surfing. Walking has been enough for me.
How about you?

Driving or being a passenger in a vehicle is enough of a life-risk to me.

I agree. My best friend drives in a way that made one of her daughters give her a key chain that said something like "Don´t drive faster than how your guardian angel flies". She drives me everywhere often and I´m keeping my fingers crossed all the way although she drives well.

@DaddyEvil Dixie is also a very good driver. But she drives too fast and when she is driving, a demon takes hold of her. Usually she does not say any bad thing of anyone. But when she is driving, the rest of the people are foes.

@marguicha I generally drive five miles over the limit but like to think I'm a good driver. I've only had two accidents in the not-quite 45 years I've been driving. I hit a patch of black ice on a highway and destroyed a mail box when I was 18 and was driving slowly on ice when the car wouldn't stop for a stop sign. I slid across the empty street and into the railing on the other side.

They have been too long there. I hope the sounds mean something good.

@marguicha They have not found them and the sounds stopped.

I guess people like the thrill of “experiences”, although I’ve never had the desire to go in a tiny sub to see a wreck, or fly to space in a commercial rocket. I did once make plans to skydive, but the plan fell through.
Maybe when people are rich like that they get the urge to feel like “conquering” something other than business.

I was just saying the same here. Maybe the very rich need experiences that are out of our reach of imagination. Now my adventures are mostly through TV. I lave lately been in safaries on TV channels

@AmbiePam From my bed, I can wish that I own one of the tiger cubs I see there.

Since I am the only one child to my parents, so I try not to take a risk as I know how they feel worried about it. I try to take good care of myself. But some people still want to take adventure and perhaps this is because of different characters.

I guess not, because the submarine is fish proof.

I was listening to the reports a little while ago. They are hearing bangs every 30 minutes like a signal. There are some specialized ships joining the search. They have not located it and the oxygen will run out tomorrow. It will take a miracle but miracles do happen.

I know. I still cannot understand how those children were found alive in the jungle too.

@marguicha I think that they had natives from the area help in the search. I am glad they were found and will be okay.

I have watched rapids. I have watched bungy jumping but would never dare do anything like that

Walking is good for me. And when I was young, I liked to run if I was in a hurry.

You do have to wonder about why people want to do certain things

I suppose the minds of the people that are too rich work different from ours. I am now very happy remodeling my kitchen while recycling some of what I have saved.

What bothers me is that on the Internet today they say banging like from inside a submarine has been heard yet, they cannot locate it, Seems something very strange there,

I know. It seems that with a sonar and so many new devices they should be able to locate it.

I can understand the wish to push boundaries. I used to be a keen scuba-diver (had to give it up for now as not a very family-friendly activity), I can fly a small plane, I rode motorbikes, I have been down caves and parachuted from a plane. Some people might think those are very risky activities but in fact safety is taken very seriously. But I wouldn't like to be shut up in a small can with no control over anything.

A wise way to say it. Still, poor rich people.

I'm not one to take risks with my life. I feel so sorry for the 5 men down in the sub. They will run out of oxygen this morning.

@marguicha Yes it would have been so fast that they wouldn't have even noticed.
