<VV> Re: Deadly Vairs

[J R Read_HML]

Smitty, I quite agree... and had a first hand experience (in the '60s)
coming upon a single car accident - car in the ditch 90degrees to the
roadway.  Front end burned and still smoldering when I arrived.  Two burned
bodies in the front seat.  I knew the passenger.  It was an image that will
never leave me.
