Fedora 13: Rock It!
===========================================Benjamin Franklin
They who would give up an essential liberty for temporary security, deserve neither liberty or security.Henry David Thoreau
Go confidently in the direction of your dreams! Live the life you've imagined. As you simplify your life, the laws of the universe will be simpler. A man is rich in proportion to the number of things he can afford to let alone.

RIP, Popcorn Sutton
Marvin “Popcorn” Sutton, moonshiner, has taken his own life to avoid Federal prison. He had been sentenced to 18 months for moonshining and firearms violations1, and preferred death to the federal pen. I can’t say I blame him; his crimes … Continue reading
RIP, Reverend Hal Marchman
Reverend Hal Marchman, who for decades delivered the invocation before the races at Daytona International Speedway, has passed away. NASCAR races start with the presentation of colors, an invocation and prayer, the National Anthem, and usually, a flyover of military … Continue reading
RIP, Paul Harvey
Paul Harvey, American radio icon, has passed away at age 90. I could repeat all the lines he used to begin and end his radio broadcasts; I could mention sponsors of his radio news show, whose goods I’ve purchased, but … Continue reading
RIP, James Whitmore
James Whitmore, stage, screen and TV actor, has passed away at age 87. I am always somewhat disconcerted when I pay tribute to those such as James Whitmore; invariably, their careers spanned far beyond the limits of my narrow world … Continue reading

RIP, Patrick McGoohan
Patrick McGoohan, of Secret Agent and The Prisoner fame, has passed away at age 80. I was a Secret Agent fan back in my long, long ago youthful years. I’ve never watched The Prisoner, however. Coincidentally, I read some chatter … Continue reading
RIP, Ricardo Montalban
Ricardo Montalban, silver screen and teevee actor, has passed away at age 88. Frankly, the Fantasy Island fanfare didn’t impress me overly in its heyday. To me, the phrase Fine Corinthian Leather, from the car ads, endeared him forever. I … Continue reading
RIP, Bozo(Larry Harmon)
Larry Harmon, who made clowning a business, has passed away at age 83. Mr. Harmon wasn’t the original Bozo, but entertained a generation of kids by licensing the Bozo name and likeness to local TV stations nationwide. Now, 50+ years … Continue reading
RIP, Scott Kalitta
Scott Kalitta, two-time NHRA Top Fuel Champion, was killed in a qualifying accident yesterday. I love racing, and always am sad when someone loses his life in any form of the sport. Scott’s father is the legendary racer Connie Kalitta, … Continue reading
