According to the report “they were driving” the ford Aerostar. Maybe if just one of them drove there wouldn’t have been an accident.
Meaning no disrespect to the victims, please accept my sympthy, just questioning the story.

Kym
Any news on the identity of the victims of the vehicle that went into the Trinity River a few days ago?

I’m sorry Kym, I know that I always say “if you know what they meant to say, you know what they said, there is no need to correct.” I just caught the humor of them both driving. Although it is a completly sad occasion that truely saddens me.

You know that I admire your work on this blog. But if you don’t, I’ll say it again, great job! You provide a much needed service to this community.

Ernie, first my deepest sympathies to the family of this terribly sad accident, my wife and I both drive our car at the same time quite often. I’m doing the actual maneuvering of the vehicle but she is definitely driving from the passenger seat.

Yeah, this darn blogging has finally turned Ernie. Hate to see it. He’s never on LoCO anymore. I used to be an OK guy, too, but the dark side got me. E-Bran, it’s Lo-burst! All is forgiven, dude. I didn’t mean it!
