Apartment balconies any better?

Maybe a gambler with big debt??? who knows

OMG!!! I was actually parked at this parking lot last night and left around 8.30pm. I had no idea that, in the pouring rain, there would be something as sad like this about to unfold moments later.

Terrible.

RIP.

Sad RIP.

Hope it was not anything else but just a pure accident case.

You think more will be learned about the case? The clowns in brown already have the answer. He was sitting in the rail and fell on his iwn accord. Case closed. Its right there in the OP.

Ah, Hara Cari.

RIP from one 64 year old to another. Hope I never reach the spot you did. So far so very good.

Umm duh maybe because I didn't see him or even know he was there? I also left 30 mins before he fell to his death - maybe at that time he was still shopping inside the mall. If I happened to be there and spotted him, surely I would have spoken to him.

RIP to the deceased. Japanese folks are usually very nice people. I've been to Japan several times.

================

In Florida they had a water park with a 100 or so foot drop water slide that goes at just a slight angle from straight down.

They named it the "Bonsai Boggin".

Apparently one is supposed go down it like a samurai. I never got near the thing. It was terrifying.

If you have not read it already, read Jame Clavell's Shogun to get what the term bonsai really means. Great book.
