Laurie of Notes From the Hinterland reached out earlier today to be sure we were not involved in the tragic bus accident in Venice. Thank you for checking on us, Laurie.

A bus carrying tourists went off the side of the road near Venice, Italy, killing the driver and 21 tourists returning from a campsite. There were a number of injuries as well. Current speculation is that the driver suddenly became ill before losing control of the bus.

Life is fleeting. My heart goes out to all who lost a loved one.
