Never made it to Barstow
The news today is almost unbearably sad.
I can't remember the exact quote, which is strangley appropriate, but in a letter to the Clintons over the suicide of Vince Foster, HST once wrote something like:
"I know what it's like to have a piece of you ripped off and sent screaming into the void"
indeed.
RIP Hunter S Thompson. I wish it didn't feel like the screwheads are winning.
