Ty's Take
An Osage Beach man died in a go-kart accident this week, which ought to remind everyone around the lake that speed and recreation don't always mix the way we think they will. We've got Show Me Chaos coming up with its full-throttle action, we've got the Harbor Hop drawing over a thousand players, we've got boats launching and docks getting checked and summer bearing down on us like it always does—and in all that motion and noise and fun, somebody ended up not coming home. The lake's a place where people come to let loose, and that's part of what makes it work. But loose doesn't mean careless.
