Farmer,
 Thank God that no one lost their life and I pray that all
will be fine and recover from their injuries.
Rob

	Our phone went out today, both lines, and the phone was also out
at my mother's house 
(here on the farm). I told Diana to call it in and she said "how?" I
said use your cell 
phone... duh!   :-)   It is all back on now and I still don't know what
the problem was. 
We were listening to a flurry of traffic on the scanner to see if we
could tell what was 
going on. There was a serious accident only about a mile from our place
and we thought 
that might be the problem (it wasn't). The accident involved a batch of
teens in one 
vehicle. A bit later my cell-phone rang and it was one of our daughters
telling us that 
our oldest daughter had been trying to call us and could not get
through. Seems one of 
our 14 year old grand-daughters was in that accident and her mother was
trying to call us 
to come to the hospital. Seems that the little dummy had climbed into
the back of a 
pickup truck with some friends and was heading to a place in Big
Flatrock River about 6 
miles south of here that has a wide flat stone bottom and is shallow. It
is known locally 
as "the flats". People have been playing there for over 100 years. There
were 7 total in 
the truck. Not a one of the Dummies had a seat belt on. They came to the
highway and 
pulled across in front of a car the driver did not see which hit them
broadside. All but 
one of the teens were thrown from the truck and all had various
injuries. Two were 
ejected through the rear window. Two were flown by chopper to Methodist
Hospital in Indy 
(rated as one of the better trauma centers in the country) and are in
intensive care. One 
was unresponsive. Fortunately after a lengthy wait at the hospital we
found that our 
grand-daughter was not seriously injured after x-rays and a CT scan.
Just some cuts etc 
and some bruising and a concussion. She was unconscious at the scene but
awake at the 
hospital. We still have no news of the people in the car. Late news is
that they believe 
the two that were flown to Indy will make it...
	Maybe tomorrow will be a better day...
