I was watching the race, and saw the crash thinking "Man, that's just a hard bump into the wall".
Then I saw them taking a loooong time in the cockpit, and the ambulance coming on to the track in no particular hurry. I thought they were just talking to him, and were going to run him through the hospital just to check him out.
Then the word came he had died from the "hard bump into the wall", and I couldn't believe it.
I've lived here on The Poor Farm most of my life. Located in western Kansas, where the wind blows - supposedly the Dodge City weather station at the airport has the highest average wind speed in the CONUS. It would be the "sticks" out here if there were any trees, but I like it. I really like the spring - when it is calm, and the smell of the fresh wheat and other plants fill the air with a unique "green" smell. My real love is the fall, when the air is cooling and calm, when you breath the air it is like a drink of cool water. Speaking of cool water, my well produces some mighty good tasting stuff. It is hard water for sure - all the faucets have lime on them, but I'll take it over soft mossy smelling reservoir water from the city any day.

I still remember the day he died.
