  2. Just heard about that today arounf 10-ish my time. Sad, sad thing. The guy had a strength of spirit and resolve to not let the dangers of living life effect his inherent wonderment of the elements in his own surroundings. Lived dangerously? Sure. But loved what he did and believed in what he was doing. 'Nuff said.

    Hiya E. How's you, hon? *hugs*!
