Hate To See Him Have To Go.

Let's have a moment of silence for Dr. Hunter S. Thompson, who took his own life on Sunday, February 20, 2005. I don't know what made him have to leave life -- probably no one but him will ever know, but I do hate to see him go. His book Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas was one of the most noteworthy among a number of literary eye-openers I discovered in my first year at the University of Delaware. Say what you will about wretched excess; the guy was a hell of a world-class journalist. Godspeed, Dr. Gonzo.
