One of the reasons I hate insurance companies, not enough to avoid buying stock in them.

Surely she wouldn't make him CATatonic.

So we do the spinning cups in The House of Endless Cats instead.

Not the mind part. Remove the poison in the first stage. No risk there.

But Einstein had such quirky hair and made funny faces. He's always a hoot to have around.

Seeing the last healing he did was no where near this magnitude and wiped him out for eighteen hours, Asa may be out for days this time. I think this would have been better done in two stages rather than all at once. It's not like surgery where you'd have to open an incision back up.

In those situations core beliefs are being challenged, no matter how silly those beliefs might be. There are still those who maintain the Earth is flat despite the evidence otherwise.

Well, most have no choice. If you have a mortgage, you must have insurance to protect the lender. When/if the odds change, is when I consider insurance prudent.

And I'm willing and able to insure myself.

Words beginning with 'ir' tend to have a negative to them. Never name a kid Irving or Irma.

So I'm blindly stupid for choosing not to bet with someone something will happen to my houses?

Should I signal my operatives to begin banging pots and pans?

Unless there is no insurance. You don't have to have it if you own it outright.

Unless he didn't want any video records of what went on there. I don't want cameras inside either.

The fingerprints on the phone are probably a good thing at this point as they show he called 911.

We don't know anything about Sam other than Micco's thoughts about him. It seems Sam was pretty casual and he likely did share the door codes with others. Whoever is there isn't stupid, they didn't park too nearby or turn on lights. We need to remember not much time has passed. We will still have a funeral to study who does and doesn't attend, presuming there is a funeral.

Well, they didn't have to pull the Korner in after them.

Where did everybody go?

Friday the 13th in October. Yeah, I'm hiding out.

This chapter is encompassed by a murky shroud of dread. What you don't know can hurt you and there is far too much which is unknown. There was an abundance of trauma and benign neglect in Micco's young life brightened only by Billie and his friendship with Chase. It's understandable how he drifts back to the fondest memories of his childhood. Children tend to be resilient, but eight years of therapy indicate the depth of Micco's damage. He never had the unconditional love and understanding he needed from these strangers called family and it simply became part of the ongoing rush of tragedy he still suffers from. I understand his desire to investigate Sam's house himself and Chase will as well, but no one else will. We remain as deeply in the dark as Micco over what is really going on. What would prompt Sam to put his house on the market? A desire or need to get away obviously, but from what? I'm afraid characters named Billie bring up too many images of females; Billie Burke, Billie Piper, and Billie Holliday to name a few.

Meh. Not to mention it was also cheaper to build. He's loaded, but tight with a dollar.

Someone I know has one as a lake house. I always thought it was silly to have a ski chalet in the South. I suppose it's more practical than the castle someone else built.

Isn't off topic normal here?

But it wasn't exactly as clear as we like to remember. https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/the-counterintuitive-history-of-black-hats-white-hats-and-villains
