      Jason Davis (age 35, possibly related to his struggles with addiction) and Nikita Pearl Waligwa (age 15, brain cancer) both died in the last couple of days.

        Rocket Man is ded.

        "Mad" Mike Hughes, 64, crash-landed his steam-powered rocket shortly after take-off near Barstow on Saturday.

        A video on social media shows a rocket being fired into the sky before plummeting to the ground nearby.

        Hughes was well-known for his belief that the Earth was flat. He hoped to prove his theory by going to space.

              A hero of mine, Freeman Dyson (who I met as a freshman physics major and watched the Matrix with), died last week.

                    Playwright Terrence McNally, dead from Covid19 complications at age 81. https://www.cnn.com/2020/03/24/enter...rnd/index.html
                    “It is no use trying to 'see through' first principles. If you see through everything, then everything is transparent. But a wholly transparent world is an invisible world. To 'see through' all things is the same as not to see.”

                    ― C.S. Lewis, The Abolition of Man​

                        John Prine, 73, an amazing singer/songwriter best know for writing "Angel From Montgomery," has died of COVID-19 complications. He was a 2x cancer survivor, so not surprising that he could not survive symptoms that included double pneumonia.


                        First met him in the mid-70s, when he toured midwest colleges with fellow folkies Steve Goodman and Bonnie Koloc. Great guy. May he RIP.
