Writer Hunter S. Thompson Kills Himself
By ROBERT WELLERAssociated Press Writer
ASPEN, Colo. (AP) -- Hunter S. Thompson, the hard-living writer who inserted himself into his accounts of America's underbelly and popularized a first-person form of journalism in books such as "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas," has committed suicide.
Thompson was found dead Sunday in his Aspen-area home of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound, sheriff's officials said. He was 67. Thompson's wife, Anita, had gone out before the shooting and was not home at the time. His son, Juan, found the body.

I owe a lot HST. While he was never my father figure, he did sire the "Beard." Today is sad but his end, at least proved interesting, and that is/was his talent. If youth is for learning how to have fun, and life for not forgetting, he was a good teacher. I suggest we have a day of gunplay and alcohol to put him to rest.
