84. Murphy bed
85. Ren and Stempy
86. dunno
87. Mali, Chad, and Togo - We have been to Togo on a cruise ship stop. We did not go on an excursion because they all seemed to be about voodoo stuff. We didn't leave the dock, but the local people had a very nice market set up inside the security fence of the dock area. A woman with dementia shopping on the dock became separated from her friends, and lured outside the gate, where she was kidnapped and robbed. The ship's security people spent the day trying to find her and get her back to the ship. They held the ship for her, and an hour or so past departure, she showed up at the ship on the back of a motorcycle, whereupon an argument ensued about who was going to pay the motorcycle driver. I will be happy not to go to Togo again.
88. Betty Crocker
