Like many people, I enjoy watching auto racing. While many times, I watch the race to get a good nap (don't ask, I couldn't explain it), I also watch to see "the big one". This term means a large scale accident that involves many drivers. In NASCAR, the cars, drivers, and tracks have many things put in place to keep everyone involved as safe as possible. The IZOD Indy Car series ... well, not so much. For starters, the cars do not have a roof. Today that proved deadly. At the IZOD Championship race in Las Vegas, NV, there was a 15-car accident. More than one car went airborne and hit the fence that sits over the walls. With regret, Dan Wheldon died from injuries sustained in this accident. The accident itself was a sight to behold. Flames, flying cars ... just wow! Then you see the aftermath, and you know the end result will not be good.
Dan Wheldon leaves behind his wife and 2 young children. Rest in peace Mr Wheldon. You died way too young and will be missed by racing fans everywhere.

Welcome to the (at times not so much) wonderful world of ME, a big steaming pile of (take your pick of words, insert here). There are times I may (try to be) funny, there are times I'm sincere. Sometimes I end up being both without even trying. But you're here, so I hope I can keep you entertained enough to come back for more.
