Dana: These types of accidents are rare, but can be deadly. Same thing happened to my husband...those lil' critters can move so fast they're in your car before you know it. So glad you and your mom are still with us. Prayers goin up for yours and her healing. dusty -----Original Message----- From: Dana Thomas <[email protected]> To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Date: Saturday, November 11, 2000 7:35 PM Subject: [TXCASS-L] Sorry I've been out of pocket! >Hello all.
