Pass the Doobie

Just saw that Keith Knudsed passed away on 2/7/05 at age 57. I'm now watching 70's music on the Music Choice channel. It's become my new news source - "Fair and Balanced" though a little stale.

The 'passed away' caught my eye. Bugs me. Just the general use of the term. I wish it's usage would just die.

Also, I have dreams-bad dreams-about this Away persona. I imagine myself driving to Salt Lake and coming up behind this ASSHOLE hogging the left lane, driving well under the speed limit (which I think we can all agree is 9 mph above what's posted). So I curse at the ASSHOLE and start to pass on the right, then hesitate, wondering if Away is driving said vehicle, just tempting me to pass.
