A sad accident occurs early this week: an excursion bus full of gamblers, on a return trip from Louisiana to Texas, runs into the back of a big tractor-trailer truck. One passenger is killed, an older lady who was at the front of the bus.

We happen to be visiting family in the area, and chance to see on the local TV news an interview with shaken survivors of the tragedy. A young man ultra-unselfconsciously says of the victim, "She had a hard time moving back in the bus, so I traded seats with her — Thank the Lord!"
