Obligatory Hunter S. Thompson Post

I don't mean to sound facetious, because I was very surprised and saddened to hear of his death. It's just, EVERYONE is posting about it today. So I felt it necessary to mourn him in my blog, too.

He was a great, crazy writer. I guess he was a bit crazier than some of us supposed. Of course, he really couldn't have died in any fashion other than suicide or od'ing. Living till ninety and dying of old age just wouldn't have fit.

So, now, a moment of silence.
