RIP Mr. Edwards. Thanks for the great tunes.

Every time we get behind the wheel could be our last.

Jeesh, you never know what is going to happen when you leave home in the morning. Every day is a valuable gift.

Rotten writing - hay bale careered down the hill!

Had not considered how dangerous those new fangled bales might be. They are enormous and cylindrical which means they roll rather than stop dead like those old fashioned oblong bales.

I think we need to consider a total ban of hay bales.

Someone else just died, too. A comedian.

ELO’s version of Roll Over Beethoven is hands down the best.

Mike Edwards, 62, who played cello for the band for three years, died when the giant bale weighing 50 stone crashed down on top of his van. Mr Edwards died instantly in the accident after the bale careered down the hill, and flipped over a hedge.

A respectful RIP to Mr Edwards, who gave us some wonderful music, but I just couldn't help but think of "Spinal Tap" upon reading this. Please forgive me.

“Jeff Porcaro died in a gardening accident on August 5, 1992, at the age of 38. He was spraying insecticide in his garden and inhaled too much of the spray, triggering a heart attack. An autopsy revealed a serious heart condition that had been previously undiagnosed.”
