[kj] OT Hunter S. thompson Dead

[Jiri]

I wasn't surprised that this is how he went but
surprised that he did it so (relatively) young still.
But I read he'd had back surgery, a hip replacement,
and recently a broken leg. Maybe he figured the ship
carrying his lust for life was broken beyond repair.
It's too bad. He left a fantastic mark.
