If this ufcking ankle still hurts tomorrow, urgent care. After Dr Strange.
Daughter's friend called her and said someone backed out and had an extra ticket for Dr Strange in imax for 3pm yesterday .
Maybe she should buy this weekend's lottery ticket's !!
:(
Hope the ankle get's better

I've read the book and watched the move and have come away with the same conclusion: Chris McCandless was no hero, he was an ill informed idiot.
Thank you. Why he has hero worship is beyond me.

I, no wilderness alpha male myself, would have at the very least done exhaustive research AND BOUGHT A DAMN MAP.

Seemed like a grade A moron. But people like to worship morons for some reason.

It's the same with Aron Ralston. Movie - Book - Speaker ..... Of course had he done what he should have and informed someone where he was going and when he planned to return he wouldn't have had to cut his own arm off. Probably would have lost it anyways to be fair but no spending the days in the canyon alone and using a leatherman to do it.

Exactly! So the path to fame is to go out in the wilderness and either die or get maimed?!

Hard pass. Fools.

Anymore the ability to use a map is a lost art and knowing how to use a compass correctly is something near magic. "I'll just plug the name into google and ....... "
I worked for FEMA for a number of years mapping flood zones and performing damaged property inspections. Reading a map and compass are a lost art nowadays. I'm not gonna lie tho, when the first portable laptop run gps devices hit the scene it made life soooo much easier.
