   that's the main assumption... as i understand it, no one has an address for   
   him where the gendarmes can even be sent around to check that nothing untoward   
   has occured...   
      
   personally speaking, i have no idea as to his age or health status... there   
   are a number of folks concerned about him, though... on the other hand, this   
   is apparently not the first time he has simply disappeared only to return some   
   time later... what to make of this? i have no idea...
