    I happened to be watching when Sr. was killed. I have no idea why as I almost never watch NASCAR.
When I saw the crash it did not seem very bad but the color announcer who was a former driver, immediately said that it was serious.

    One of the Family Dogs was also on board. Don’t know if it was Gus or not. Might have been Junebug, no details.

    I had exactly the same reaction when watching it live. And I also remember the color commentator.....Darrell Waltrip, I think......being very somber right from the first picture.
Yes, it was Waltrip. He was torn up because his brother won the race but he was still fearful for Earnhardt.
The NASCAR experts can correct me, as that’s all from memory.

    Wow—in addition to not being perfect you behave like a normal, and perhaps slightly overly patient, person when being wrongly criticized in an excessive manner for things you aren’t to be blamed for.

    Yeah, it originated with French balloons in the late 1700s. Doesn’t apply to airplanes with wings. I was just trying to date myself since I’m newly ancient.
