Perhaps turn out a sermon.

I'm Not Making Fun of a Tragedy

KY3.com BATTLEFIELD, Mo.--A car crash on Farm Road 115 has claimed the life of a Springfield man.

The Missouri Highway Patrol says Luckey Schellack's car ran off the road and rolled several times Wednesday. Schellack was thrown from the car and pronounced dead at the scene. He was 58 years old.

Prayers for Mr. Schellack's family. Fifty-eight is far too young to die.

I'm simply impressed that someone is named Luckey, let alone Luckey Schellack, and that, in all likelihood, the first time most of us have heard anything about him is a result of his unlucky demise.

The latest Hello Kitty accessory indicates it is just a bizarre day.

That is weird.

Say, why ain't there a "hello raccoon?" That's what I wonder. The idea sells itself.
