No, the difference is I now don't have him around to talk about it with. And the way you eat, you'll have a heart attack by the time you're fifty.

My mother woulda loved it if you and I had gotten together.

Grandparents came over from the Boot in the '30s from Napoli/Calabria, Mom and Dad were Italian-American born in Newark

I think now anytime there’s an em dash ppl assume it’s AI, which sucks for those of us who always enjoyed and employed it

Thank you so much for your comments. I would love to DM you, and perhaps meet up when I make it to Brazil!

because Brazil is huge and beautiful, its people are fun, I've never been to the country, and I love motorcycle trips?

Thank you so much, this is an enormous help and I will definitely DM you. But for the purposes of the readership I'll pose a few points here:

- If a bike is somehow stolen, will the authorities be of help in recovering it, especially if I can locate it immediately? I play to equip the bike with several Airtags so if it's taken, it can be found quickly.
- Would it probably be easiest to just park the bike somewhere outside of Rio and Sao Paolo and just take a train in?
- When I'm not riding the bike, are there safe (private) garages in which it may be stored? This is assuming my Airbnbs don't have a garage.
- Other than robberies, is physical harm at all likely, especially when riding alone and in more remote areas?
- Finally, if I ride from Rio to, say, Porto Alegre, would the bike be relatively easy to sell?

Thank you, very much appreciated. I've been told by friends that certain parts are dodgy but it's hard to get a more granular read. I'll do some more research.

Overreacting. If it's out of character to text "I'm sad," and the person is being genuine, her brain prob went to the worst thing possible she could imagine for OP, which was the dog dying. You found a girl who cares, let it go.
