The proportion of people who were divorced, separated, or married multiple times maxed out at age 59. Couples should be prepared financially, mentally and physically to the reality of dying alone!
My neighbor seems completely lost.

Perfect run! I am also in a very good mood.

I helped my new neighbor who replaced “Coucous dude” in the apartment above me. While I was fixing her printer she told me about her horrible life with her ex-husband:
- They divorced after 20 years because he cheated on her with a younger woman
- He stole all their belongings in their old house
- She sued him over the 2 apartments they owned together
- He burned her car last week and she filed a complaint! (luckily she was at her mother’s house so nothing happened here!)
- She hides her address from him because she is afraid of him!
Now that she is old, alone, sick and she can no longer have any kids, she asked me this question in a very naive way: “Would you like to get married?”
I shrewdly answered after looking at her for few seconds: “So which part of your hell on Earth would you like to recommend to me?”
She burst out into a warm laugh…and said “NONE”

I was reading about the group Imagine Dragons. Lead singer Dan Reynolds has stated that the song is about his relationship with his parents and explained that while “at times it’s been strained and difficult… in the end, ‘I Bet My Life’ celebrates the bond that we still hold on to.”
I bet my life by Imagine Dragons
Lyric: LINK
I know I took the path that you would never want for me
I know I let you down, didn’t I
So many sleepless nights where you were waiting up on me
But I’m just a slave unto the night
Now remember when I told you that’s the last you’ll see of me

After 3 days of trial, the jury voted on the final decisions which were organised into series of questions:
1. Is he guilty? (Yes or No)
2. How long should he serve in prison? (choice: 1-20 years)
3. Should he be expelled from France territory indefinitely? (Yes or No)
The prosecutor requested only 10 years however the jury decided on 11 years. Never ever trust a group of jury! I had the impression that the jury added an extra year to punish the defender for his denial. Would he plead guilty, they would be more compassionate!
I was the most compassionate jury for this specific case… strangely! I only voted for 5 years meaning that he would be free since he has already served 2 and half years in prison.
The jury did not like the aggressive behavior from the lawyer and the extra year was certainly added to punish the lawyer!

I went to a nice Vietnamese restaurant and I went to the theater to watch Geostorm. I wanted to purge my mind from the excess of reality in a sad world!

Of course, I was the last pick to become one of the jury, so unlucky! Indeed, 2 young black dudes were picked before me but the lawyers recused them right away. The lawyers have the right to recuse 4 people amongst the ones picked randomly each time.
Someone’s life has flipped into madness because of 200 Euros in rent. What was sad is that you have access to every details of his life. We have 3 days to decide if someone’s life should end in prison for the next 15 years knowing that he has already had 46 miserable years on Earth. His victim was so poor that no-one even came to claim justice. A very sad world!

Today, I attended the first session for my jury duty. I was excused for next week duty since I have my trial against my ex-employer. I am glad I do not have to attend the cases next week because it is a rape and a murder.
I do get 95 Euros per day if I was selected. Otherwise, I would just get my trips and the first day reimbursed.

Good run…!
I had to interrupt last week 10 Kms because of the vertigos. I still have minor vertigos but they are not as strong. My brain cannot find the vertical immediately anyhow since the BPPV.
