A truly sad day for Lono. I think I shall go home, open a bottle of wine, and re-read The Curse of Lono - my favorite Hunter book. RIP Hunter S. Thompson. You brought joy to millions, especially me.
Buy the ticket, take the ride.

I never met the man. But, I know one thing. He wasn't afraid to say what a lot of us were....
Good night Hunter! Rest in peace.

R.I.P.-- Sail On....
~I stopped by the bar in the middle of the day
I know it's very hard to believe
But I got a bad case of the "one mores"
And found it very hard to leave~
