Sometimes news Stories are just a headline and a paragraph and a crash scene video. It takes a closer look at the individual lives that were taken to really hit home and make us all hold our loved ones a little closer. Thanks for taking the time, Loren, to bring this tragedy
‘home’. A couple of my kids are in highly dangerous professions in service to their country and communities, so I naturally have the jitters at times for their safety but this shows in terrible detail how even those in a ‘passtime’ can be lost in a heartbeat out of the blue.
Cherish what you have and show it.

My deepest condolences to the families and friends of these folks. For all the words I know, there aren’t any to ease the hurt.

I live not far from where the crash happened, so there’s been lots of media coverage.

I couldn’t help but think about this on a lot of different levels as I sat today at the Little League game watching my son play — and I hugged him a little tighter than usual after the game.

Just when you think that cryptids are more important than the self-focused arrogant destructive species that’s ruining life on earth for everything else.

We’re animals like the rest, and like them we have offspring and try to raise them to do the best they can and try to live up to our highest ideals of what this species of ours ought to be.

And it takes something like this to remind us.

As a dad, I’m so sorry. I hope my kids make it to adulthood - then I realize even that won’t be enough, because they’ll always be my kids.

Both of my sons played ball in school as well. I can only imagine the horror and grief they are going through. My thoughts and prayers are with them.
