RIP Grizzly Adams. Maybe he's the 3rd down after Bowie and Rickman?

Back in the day Dan was a big snowblower. I remember going to the theater to see Grizzly Adams. RIP Mr. Haggerty.

This cancer thing is really out of control. Hitting a lot of late 60’s and early 70’s. Before their time imo. I wish something could be done. :(

There was an urban legend that Dan cought his beard on fire slamming flaming shots one night an suffered thrid degree burns on his face.

Neither here nor there. RIP sir.

LOL, well he did live it up some. Rifftrax did a movie on him recently, unbelievably bad and hilarious. But I’m sad still cause I did watch Grizzley Adams a lot as a kid.

“Before their time imo. I wish something could be done. :(”

Fear not and let not your heart be troubled. Like that great demorcrat algore who invented the internet, and Bill clinton who became the greatest cigar seller of all time...Joe Biden is on the job. He will in his time find a cure. So The Dear Leader has writen and so it shall be.

Not that 'Celebrities Die In Threes' superstition again.

I had an atheist friend who was certain that religion was a man-made hoax but at the same time insisted there was some unexplained force at work in the universe cutting down celebrities in groups of three. He even clarified that mathematicians proved the probability of celebrities dying in groups of three, man. He smoked a lot of pot. Probably still does.

Once, two celebrities died within a week of each other and he was telling everyone that there's going to be a third celebrity, bet your last dollar on it. When no other celebrities died after a few weeks, I mocked him mercilessly about his subscription to the 'celebrities die in threes' canard.

A few weeks later, some baseball player of little noteworthiness who played left field for the Pittsburgh Pirates (or the Phillies, who can remember) died and he raced to me with the news as if it were prophecy fulfilled. Madness.

When Bob Hope died alone, I asked him where the other two celebrity deaths were for weeks and weeks. All it did was mad him madder and driven to prove to everyone that celebrities die in threes.

3rd degree burn recovery is really tough.

I’ve been educated by some surviving major refinery burns, including spending over a year in the hospital.
