My uncle is the most responsible, "good guy" you'll ever meet. Family man, former volunteer firefighter, master gardener. He's building a cabin about 2 hrs north of their house in MN. He didn't come home one night. The sheriff searched the ditches along the highway. All the kids were out looking. They called every rest stop and diner along the road (there aren't many).

Turns out he stopped at a casino to gamble, didn't stop until after 3am, and then fell asleep in the lobby. He's never gambled before. Just three weeks earlier, he had started on his new medication for Parkinson's.

His family is so mad at him for making them worry, some of them still don't believe the news about this drug! This event scared the hell out of them.
