Wasn't an obit, just the mention of the accident. They mentioned it in yesterday's paper, but with no name. Today, they released the name.

They said he was not wearing a helmet, not that he died from head trauma. He hit a concrete retaining wall at I high rate of speed. His maker called him home and when that happens it doesn't matter what you have on or where your at.

It's still a choice in Texas and I hope it never changes.
