I viewed the post w/the You Tube video of the NASCAR Mexico driver, Carlos Pardo meeting his untimely end, and was moved to write this.
We watch, cheer, buy merchandise, tease each other, criticize, praise and make fun of these guys, but I think, (at least I know I do,) we forget how near death they are just to satiate their competitive fires, to entertain us and to make a very comfortable living.
They go faster, and the cars get better but there has to be a time when the speed and...

Tomorrow night may bring another long year to an end.
Game 6 of the NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs is tomorrow night in Pittsburgh at the "Igloo", Mellon Arena.
It could end an era, as I believe this is the last year at this venue, and it could very well end another season for the Penguins.
IMO, They have nothing to hang their head about. After a great start, the real personality of this team was seen, and they fell in the standings like a rock.
Before it was too late,...

Today my heart is broken. I lost a living thing that is as close to me as my parents were, and my wife and children are.

Recently in the news, you may have heard of the three Pittsburgh Bureau of Police Officers who were killed in the line of duty last weekend.
They responded to a marital dispute, and were not informed by 911 (although the operator was told) that there were weapons involved. Upon entering the residence, four responding officers were shot and three killed.
It has pretty much been the talk among the public service community. A large memorial was held in the city, w/a parade etc.
