The end of an era. Evel Knievel has died in Clearwater, FL.
According to Mitch Stacy, AP, "Evel Knievel, the red-white-and-blue-spangled motorcycle daredevil whose jumps over Greyhound buses, live sharks and Idaho's Snake River Canyon made him an international icon in the 1970s, died Friday. He was 69."
Makes me feel old. I'm also 69. I thought he was older. In recent years his son Robbie has carried on his exploits.
Read the complete story.
Here's a YouTube video of Evel pronouncing his faith -- a different side of the man who lived life on his own terms.
