It is sad - two traffic fatalaties this weekend - and in both cases, the person killed not wearing a seatbelt. When will people learn? My heart goes out to the families of those killed, and a prayer that otherw will learn from this and start using seatbelts.

I just thought I would let you all know that Nikki is a male individual not a female. I went to school with him.
