Jeannie insists I post this in this manner. She said that anyone who knows me would find it perfectly plausible that she had finally had enough....OK, OK I get it less talk radio.... more music. It is eerie that it happened the day after we left.
Car Plunges Off Grand Canyon, Man Killed
(July 14) -- A man died after his car plunged 600 feet off the edge of the Grand Canyon's South Rim, authorities said Tuesday.
The Arizona park's regional communications center received several reports of a car driving off the edge about 6 a.m. Monday, according to a written statement.Skip over this content

A car plunged over the south rim of the Grand Canyon Monday, killing the driver inside. A portion of the canyon's south rim is shown above.
"Upon arriving at the scene, investigators found tire tracks leading to the edge behind the Thunderbird Lodge and received reports of a single occupant in a blue passenger car driving over the edge," the statement said.
Rescue personnel descended on ropes and found the vehicle about 600 feet into the canyon. The man's body was recovered shortly afterward, the statement said.
The incident occurred near the El Tovar hotel in a village on the canyon's South Rim, park spokeswoman Shannan Marcak said.
Authorities have not ruled the death a suicide, she said. "It has not been ruled anything at this time."
The statement said the National Park Service is investigating. Typically, Marcak said, such investigations take at least a few days
The man has not been identified, she said.
Marcak said that within the past five years, she knows of only one other time a car was driven off the edge of the canyon.
The Monday statement said plans were being made to retrieve the vehicle and the body.

Even a little of Rush Limbaugh causes severe deterioration of the brain. I shudder to think what several hours of it might do.
ReplyDeleteStop somewhere and get some Texas Tornados music: specifically, "If you got the dinero, I got the Camaro."
When you turn it on, be sure you're on cruise-control cause it will make you want to go.
Please tell me you just listen to limbaugh for a goog laugh.
