Cover art for Take The Long Way Home lyrics by Supertramp

I'm reminded of a story I read about, where a guy out west, not a celebrity, just an ordinary guy, had just left a bar to go home, right before a landslide hit it. He was the only survivor, and here's what he did. He got in his car, and headed east. He said he felt like somebody'd said, here's your life again, see if you can't do better this time. He really did escape.

awesome comment, west can be michigan, florida or wherever opportunity takes you away from home and family.

@georgemcfly2000 cool story!
