What Is To Become Of Us?
Did you happen to catch this tale of bliss and tragedy?
And did you read up on the story of John Profumo yet? As per the CBC site: “Former British cabinet minister John Profumo, whose affair with a high-class prostitute linked to a Soviet naval attaché was one of the biggest political scandals of the 20th century”. Sleeping with the enemy
And this tip just in from ODD sweetheart Satori at I See Dead People: seems paparazzi and Reese Witherspoon stalker Todd Wallace has turned up dead. Todd was a wanted man for failing to appear at a hearing in connection with the Witherspoon incident.
Our guests today - Doug Hamilton, Garrett Scott and Daniel DeLaVergne all had one thing in common which you no doubt noticed: all were far and away too young to be joining us here. Daniel however wins one extra award for creativity or stupidity - you decide - given he was sleeping in a train tunnel. Damed ODD that.

Belatedly: What I found really interesting about the Profumo story is what the guy did after his fall from grace: From the accounts I see, he really did try to do something to atone, and his atonement seems all the more real in that he didn’t seek public attention for his work.

Daniel was one of the most brilliant people I ever knew. No one knows what happened that day, nor will we ever. He was alone. The only thing stupid about it was losing such a bright and generous soul too soon. The world is a better place for his contributions, which were great and many in his short time here.

Thanks for the reply - stupidity can arise from hypothermia too. It does not mean Daneil was stupid per se. We’ve been through this purely illogical actions point when a friend had hypothermia. Every decision our friend made at that point was bad.
It is thus a curious thing that Daniel would choose to hunker down in the tunnel. But we suspect you might be able to retrace some of his steps/actions - has anyone tried?
We appreciate your feedback and are glad to know that Daniel has such fine supports/friends/companions.
