...1962-2004...

When I saw the headline, I thought it was a joke....
Steve Irwin, killed?

the Croc Hunter, dead?

Solidifying my belief that the world's balance can be measured by the death of good guys, I estimated that maybe ohhh, 500 bad guys lost their lives.

and Death, having to get that balance back, lest we live in a pefect world, thought it best that she take a man away that had a passion for all animals human and otherwise...

Wildlife Conservationists are a dime a dozen and most love their flavor of animals and not much else, let alone humans, (As a matter of fact they tend to have a contempt for humans that boggles the mind and make you question their sanity)

But to have a man who has a love and a passion for both, and to demostrate that without thought of embarrassment, with zeal and humor, is rare.

Which is why I cried for celebrity. the first time I have done that since 22 April 1996.

...and the second since 16 May 1990.

*sighs*

It was fun, Steve...thank you...
