Of couse we can't know for sure, at least unless something is found written, but I suspect that he knew for years that the end would eventually come at his own hand. No reason for that belief, but its what I think. I also was very startled to see how much he had aged between the publicity pics of him with Johnny Depp at the opening of FALILV, and some recent pic of him getting out of Kerry's limo during a motorcade earlier this year. Might be that he just figured that he was wearing out pretty quickly and it was time. At least, I hope it was that structured. It'd be a damn shame if SAD got him....for him, his wife AND his wounded secretary. On a completely other note, he kept peacocks. Wouldn't it be totally cool to get some HST Peacock hurl and tie up a Fear and Loathing fly? Any ideas of what it would look like? --riverman |

You can also be a "Gloomy Gus" about such joyous occasions. We frequently heard tales of gunfire in a home in Woody Creek from our friends in the Aspen hospital and others who lived up river. Really? No ****? I can hardly believe ol' Hunter would discharge a firearm. ;-) This doesn't surprise me at all. Me neither, but for completely different reasons. Remember a few posts ago when I said I was a "glass half full" sorta guy?. . . Here's what really happened, IMO: HST wakes to a beautiful winter scene in Aspen. He has his morning coffee, Jack Daniels, and whatever uppers, downers, and hallucinogens happen to still be lying on the coffee table as he surveys the view out of the large picture window of the reinforced encampment. After about fifteen minutes, he thinks, "It just can't get any better than this." and pulls the trigger. Raoul agrees and does the same. That's my story and I'm stickin' to it - facts be damned. -- TL, Tim ------------------------ http://css.sbcma.com/timj |

He may have decided to celebrate the morning by coating the inside of his cabin with brain matter. Unless someone tells us more detail, we'll never know. I suppose you're right, I may take a more pessimistic view to life than others. But I survived my time in the Roaring Fork valley without ever becoming suicidal, developing SAD or valley fever. At a time when myt first marriage was crumbling badly and not fast enough, those long cold nights, short days, and close-in valley walls were solace and joy for me. -- Stev Lenon 91B20 '68-'69 When the dawn came up like thunder http://web.tampabay.rr.com/stevglo/i...age92kword.htm |

It's 34 years later, that wave has rolled out to a point where it may never come back, and, sadly, the Good Doctor is gone, in the only way I could imagine him going. Goodbye, HST. Tom |

No, If I were single, I'd likely not be that picky. But even better, I'm happily married now, and can afford to be that picky. So, yes, the scenario doesn't thrill me.

Wayne Can't say much about how it compares to the Mekong, I served north of the delta. Dodge isn't that different from any cattle trailhead from Sedalia to points west. Even at their worst they rarely had more than one shooting a day during season. While I lived there, most folks who could afford it took long mid-winter vacations to regions with more sunlight. I enjoyed the area and don't suffer from SAD. -- Stev Lenon 91B20 '68-'69 When the dawn came up like thunder http://web.tampabay.rr.com/stevglo/i...age92kword.htm |

Hey, it's your call, but it's rather maudlin to watch. Me? I try to view my life through the good ones whether I've had them yet or not. Tim As it is, Tim, my life between 19 and 43 pretty much sucked. A war, a bad marriage that lasted far too long. Things got better rapidly until I was injured and that fight began. I've lost a lot of physical dexterity, have chronic severe pain, and blah, blah, blah. You want good? I had a great time fishing this weekend even though I hurt badly today as a result. Met lots of on-line acquaintances and we all had a good time fishing, playing with the pencils on the bench, etc. Even better, NASA announced that the shuttle will resume flight this spring with a target lauch date of 15 May. 5 minutes later Gloria called to say she had motel reservations on the Merrit Island Causeway for the launch. You want good? Social Security finally acknowledged that my physicians are correct, that I won't work again. I have regular income and health insurance for the first time in four years. Having those two things somehow brightens one's outlook on life. -- Stev Lenon 91B20 '68-'69 When the dawn came up like thunder http://web.tampabay.rr.com/stevglo/i...age92kword.htm |

Wayne Knight:
What is it? Near Aspen is a depressing place to live in the winter or not? You implied it was. The Roaring Fork runs northward from Aspen to its confluence with the Colorado at Glenwood Springs. The resultant valley is steep-walled and narrow. In winter, as a result of the decreased time the sun actually shines into the valley, many residents become depressed or suffer increased affects of SAD. The same conditions can likely be found in any mountain valley oriented north/south. I found it a beautiful place winter and summer. But I knew many people who really had to get out of the valley during the winter. Yes, near Aspen can be a depressing place to live for some people. -- Stev Lenon 91B20 '68-'69 When the dawn came up like thunder http://web.tampabay.rr.com/stevglo/i...age92kword.htm |

The comparison to Hemingway is interesting but none-the-less educated speculation. Not all that educated, really.
