      44 years ago. He’s been gone longer than he was alive.

        It's one of those "Do you remember where you were when..." moments.

        "Now look here, you Baltic gas passer... " - Mik, 6/14/08

        The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

              Most people today would go "huh?".

              “Cry havoc and let slip the DOGE of war!”

              Those who cheered as J-6 American prisoners were locked in solitary for 18 months without trial, now suddenly fight tooth and nail for foreign terrorists’ "due process". — Buck Sexton

                Warren Zevon wrote what I think was probably the best song about death I know of, while he was near it himself, "Keep Me In Your Heart For a While". No other song depicts what we can or should really expect on this mortal coil. The wheels keep turning.
