    Came aross quite by accident the fact that Vin Scully's home is now up for sale. The site I saw it on had 24 pics of the interiors and pools and tennis courts and garages.
    Idk, but I'd bet no movie star's home even comes close...
    I suppose it's blasphemy and all, but if there ever a home which reflected the absolute antithesis of what I thought
    Vinny's home would be like...this is it. I wouldn't have expected him to live in a hovel or anything, but this is by far the most ostentatious, over- the - top mansion I have ever seen. It was if two billionaires got together and made a palace in LA. It must have a 100 million dollar price tag on it, IDK.
    It is on the TMZ website, and is literally hard to believe. For a country boy like me, anyway.
    I'm not criticizing the Scullys for living in it, people do what they want with their money... just completely shocked.
    It's good ta be da king.

    guess you might need to be a little familiar w the Hidden hills area but the layout is pretty amazing imo
    sure Sandra was responsible for the garish interiors but then again most women with money are
    some have incredible talent and others trust designers but more are those kind of strangers to actual taste
    that's a great piece of land in an awesome secluded spot of gated rich folks
    privilege to be there and he was as successful as they come so kudos to Vin

    i really debated whether to weigh in at all since its a touchy thing and i truly like you both and don't want anyone to leave
    also didn't know you couldn't ignore a mod
    but when it gets personal its every man for themselves i guess and i won't say anything else since its not my place
    it's just we're such a small group here anyway...i just wish i could apologize for both of you, shake hands and make it go away
    there's people in my family i know that hate me and usually the feelings mutual but we try to put a good face on it
    its weird kabuki theater but how else does a group stay together?
    to think i rewrote that 4 times and this is the best i could do
    as imperfect as this site is there's nothing even close anywhere else that i've found and i hope you guys figure it out

    Recently, I got into a pretty bad car accident...just me, no other vehicles involved, thankfully.
    It had just started to rain about 5 minutes before, a steady drizzle thing. I took a curve, not more than two blocks from my house, at about 30 mph. The car went into a skid, and being only a two lane road, I had no room to steer out of it, and hit a rock wall.which forms one side of the road, the other side is an steep incline.
    So the car rolls over, and there I am, pretty much upside down, with no way to get out. It's volunteer.up here, so I had to wait until they were signalled and assembled and arrived...about 25 minutes. The cops were there, but had no equipment to extricate me...when the EMT guys got there I hear them debating on just what to do, and I yell to them to break out the windshield. I hear someone say "yeah, get out the canvass". They cover me up and then break out the windscreen. I slowly wiggle out and I walked to the stretcher and go to the hospital. After MRIs and a spinal check and vitals they let me go.
    So, lucky to be around at all.
    I started to read that night late in bed after the initial pain subdued somewhat, and came across an Inuit
    Morning Prayer I thought an omen... which goes like this:
    I think over again about my small adventures,
    My fears
    Those small ones that seemed so big.
    For all the vital things I had to get and to reach...
    And yet, there is only one great thing,
    The only thing;
    To live to see the Great Day that dawns
    And the light that fills the world.

    I guess it was an intense intimate experience for just me, but I thought those ancient words were worth sharing...and that primal wisdom so crystalline today as then.

    Upper body, chest, neck and shoulder points really sore.
    The seat belt fucks you up in that kind of accident, but can't go without it.
    I'm not exactly young, and not exactly little, so I'm lucky on that I walked away.
    ...and the beat goes on, bro.

    Actually, muscle relaxers. I did them in my hippie days, I remember being disappointed.
    But these now, last week, fentanyl like.
    Except no death.
