That was his last movie. I believe that he passed before it even got to the theaters... :pray:

I thought we were talking about Key Lime pie down in the Keys.:yikes:
Hi Easy,
Re ( again ): drivers passed out behind the wheel.
'Symptoms include periods of excessive daytime sleepiness that usually last from seconds to minutes and may occur at any time.'
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narcolepsy
I've suffered from it my entire adult life. And, I have fallen asleep at the wheel a number of times.
:yikes:

In Florida? Will they have the blinker on all the time and drive 10 mph under the speed limit to fit in?
Biggest hazzard in this part of FL is Tourist, who haven't a clue where they are going and anything can happen on any day, but especially on Fridays, when they come to the beach.
Hi Easy,
Re: So I will just wish you luck.
I can use it; and have been mostly lucky so far. And it is something that I think about all the time when driving.

PS) I have never heard of a cure for Narcolepsy.
Don't know, used to own one, but never been on any of the tourist air boat rides. Still got friends that own them. I ride with them sometimes.
I was with the 834th Air Division at Ton Sun Nhut back in the early 70s. We had a RAAF C-7 Caribou Squadron assigned there too. I was on C-130s out of Ching Chuan Kang Air Base.
Hi Bob,
Re: Narcolepsy has an odd way of curing itself... It usually involves a solid impact with a bridge upright, or a tree!
Back in '68, I did hit a bridge; didn't cure it.
Any other suggestions that might work?

I would say that you need a bit more "terminal" velocity...
But I really, truly wouldn't want that to happen to you! nojoke
Nope... it's just our Jerry! :D
There's an old saying:

Hi Easy,
Re: how about the danger to the others on the road AROUND you ?
A few years ago, here in Oregon, a guy fell asleep & the wheel and killed two people. He was not charged as falling asleep at the wheel is not illegal in Oregon.
Re: This is really just a troll, right ??
Nope, could not be more truthful.
I deal with it by drinking a LOT of caffeine ( Coke, coffee, etc ) whenever I feel it coming on.

Jerry,
I do have a question:
While falling asleep at the wheel isn't illegal: how does Oregon feel about folks who drive while knowing that they suffer from a condition which does endanger the public?
And that it was never disclosed on an application for a license; or it's renewal?
(Okay: TWO questions...)
