[QUOTE="BillM, post: 4112279, member: 45785"] Just heard "Another Saturday Night," the Cat Stevens version. Flashed on a suicide I got called to document in 1976 or 77. Guy was a construction worker. We found him on the Eglin AFB range, in a running car. Still had most of a tank of gas, and paper to show he just bought the car. Had $800 in twenties in his wallet, a brand new Buck knife, which he'd used to cut a brand new garden hose in half. Stuffed the cut ends in the tailpipe, ran them into the back seat window, and sat there sniffing model airplane glue and drinking beer, from a new case of each he had the receipts for, until we found him. I wonder if he had been listening to that song that night. Young guy, with a job and money, on an early Sunday morning. I got news later that day that a family friend had just died of cancer up at Ft. Rucker that day, so I was PO'd at the guy for years. [/QUOTE]
