Oh my word, I hope he gets a fine funeral, he deserves it.
An uncle of mine was not there on the first day, but in a tank unit that arrived the second day. Uncle Larry was such a quiet, mild mannered guy. I can only imagine what all the soldiers saw.
American Surfer Mikala Jones dies in freak accident.
Milan Kundera, author, finds continued being unbearable.
Probably didn’t find it very light, either.
Every time I see the title of that book, I can’t help but think of John Cusack in High Fidelity:
“Hey, I’m not the smartest guy in the world, but I’m certainly not the dumbest. I mean, I’ve read books like The Unbearable Lightness of Being and Love in the Time of Cholera,and I think I’ve understood them. They’re about girls, right? Just kidding.”

After 46 years of developing some of the most exciting cars on the planet, Callaway Cars founder Reeves Callaway died aged 75 on Tuesday, July 11. He passed away at his home in Newport Beach, California, from injuries sustained after a fall. From humble beginnings in 1977, Callaway grew his company into a performance icon bearing his name.
The image and awareness of the 410km/h Callaway Sledgehammer never left me, after reading about the car in 1988. That’s Bugatti Veyron speed, in a street-legal, perfectly usable roadtrip car, in the 80’s!
I recognize the name of that award from a novel, one of Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan books. His wife Caroline, a noted eye surgeon, was awarded the Lasker. As was said in the book, “There’s only one higher award, and you have to go to Stockholm to collect it.”
Francisco Ibañez, creator of Clever & Smart (aka Mort & Phil) has died at age 87.
