I've come to realize recently how even I get caught up in my own world and forget there are real problems much greater than any of mine that exist in this world. I have a lot to be thankful for and the ups and downs of gambling or last second beats are so insignificant in the scheme of things.
I very much appreciate the comradery I have with many people here as to be quite frank, I don't really discuss any of this hobby with people that exist in my real world. This is my private hobby, escape and enjoyment. So while I have only met a few people in this community in person, I do appreciate many of you and the dialogues we have back and forth.
That is why I would like everyone to take a moment from the trivial nonsense that we bicker about here and think about something way more meaningful. I read in another thread that our friend, The_Outlaw, has passed away from injuries he suffered at the hands of a drunk driver. It is completely senseless and sad and my thoughts and prayers go out to his family. I have seen many people on Covers discuss drinking and driving, many laughing it off as meaningless. It is a serious problem in our society and the next time any of us goes out drinking while driving, I hope we can all think of people like Tom and all the other innocent families, who are ruined by this serious problem in our society.
While I did not know him very well, The_Outlaw (Tom), seemed like a solid and good guy. He was 38 and leaves behind a wife and three year old son.
I hope Covers can find out some more information about Tom from Vermont as I know I would personally like to make a donation to his son's future education in the memory of his Dad, our internet friend. I hope many others here will also consider it.
Please take a moment to think about and pray for Tom and his family.
We can chat about basketball a little later.
