RIP Dan Wheldon
« on: October 16, 2011, 05:32:18 PM »
Dan Wheldon died today in Indy car race at Las Vegas. He had won the Indy 500 earlier this year.

He had a wife and two very young sons.

Prayers to his family.
“Don’t vote for the person who tells you you deserve something. Just don’t do it if it’s something other than life, liberty, or the pursuit of possible happiness. If everyone is telling you you deserve something, vote for the one who is promising you the least. Be suspicious of the man or woman who tell you deserve everything. Because you don’t.” ---Mike Rowe
