<BR>
I know a few of you were expecting me to be at populace tonight, but I wanted to give my apologies to you. My cousin passed away this last Friday and his funeral was today. It was a very sad occasion because he was only 18 and about to graduate high school. It was very unexpected, and took all of my family as a great shock. Unfortunatly part of me wonders if this would have occured if he had been wearing a seat belt when he crashed. Just a note to all of you out there because of my personal grief, Please be careful and remember to buckle up. He was to young, and I would hate to lose another friend or relative for lack of such a simple safety precaution.<BR>
<BR>
In any case, sorry to miss populace, and I hope to see you all possibly at Wastelands, and if not then at Beltaine. <BR>
<BR>
Well Met, and Be Safe!<BR>
