A logger in my neck of the woods lost his life earlier this week. I didn't know him personally, but I know the organisation that he worked for, their place is right next door to the log auction yard, have had some conversation with crew members when they were getting back from working. Not...

Sheet, he's not even an American. I hope it wasn't beneath a painting of George Washington. That just say no thing seems like it could only have been said by someone surrounded by her well scrubbed grandchildren and herself very naively out of touch with reality. I can't remember was it just...

I well remember him from Cool Hand Luke. http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/george-kennedy-dead-cool-hand-721400 <iframe width="420" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/veCZvM6-okQ" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Enjoy the struggle is one way to look at it.

Stern bugs me sometimes because he has no respect for people being uncomfortable about discussing their private affairs, just barges in. Kinda crude, but I guess his audience thinks it's cool, and i doubt that few guests on his show don't expect it. You can't argue with his pay cheque. My...

Meadowlark Lemon. A great man with a dedicated life. I saw the Globetrotters play once when I was a kid, and what a great show it was. The man was loved by millions. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/zVkNrwev-l8" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Damn

I remember him from TV, was it the Watergate investigation committee he was on? The guy had a likeable style.

Quite a beauty in her time.

Sheriff John was my lunch time buddy. :(

Rip Van Winkle and his new friends in the deep forest, playing nine pin and drinking a strange grog.

Jim, did you see any crusty blokes playing nine pins in your dream?

Oh no, not the Yog! A great loss. http://deadspin.com/yogi-berra-is-dead-at-90-1732515139

Dying can be very hard, and especially when you are still young or relatively young, when other parts of your body besides the diseased part, are still in good shape.

A man that deserves to be remembered. http://edition.cnn.com/2015/07/01/europe/nicholas-winton-obituary/

An ageing population might mean more wrecks too, unless driving twenty mph under the speed limit balances things out.

That is an interesting read, Nate, and the guy offers a lot to think about. I can appreciate the sense of courage in accepting your fate. So many elements to life, and finding a way through it.

Good post, Nate.

As is said, he died doing what he wanted to do, but I can't help wondering that if he were somehow able to know beforehand that his life would abruptly end as a result of his fun activity, if he might have made other choices. Abruptly dying at that age from unnatural causes, he has missed out...
