Didn't sound like she was a full-timer on account of the other two jobs she held according to her obit, but still RIP. You gotta have three jobs these days.

RIP Misty.

The worst case scenario for those of us who travel. Someone who makes it all the way through their careers without being in an accident on the job -- even a minor one -- is real lucky. I've been hit twice (both minor as far as my own health was concerned) on the clock, the most recent in 2003, so I hope I'm not due.

RIP.

Yup. A friend dozed off on his way home from covering a high school game last season -- long day at the end of a long week -- and was damned lucky to limp away from a head-on collision. I've taken two trips to that same school this year, and you bet I was thinking about it on the drive home.

R.I.P., Misty.

RIP, Misty.
