We received a copy of "Contact" from Netflix today; looks very spookily interesting! Thanks for the suggestion.
'Nother hot one. But lookin' better for rain starting Sunday. Red Flag fire warning today, though.
ReplyDeleteContact is a good movie.
ReplyDeleteWarm here too.
ReplyDeleteSome good people were born in 1936:
ReplyDeleteMy Papa in February (Rest his soul)
Engelbert [Gerry Dorsey] in May
Jim Henson in September (rest his soul)
Not quite all the good die young. *sigh*
You're welcome, Alan! I can hardly wait to hear your review!
ReplyDeleteOoooh, take care, puddle. ♥
ReplyDeleteIt's also warm up here today...a "farewell Summer" sort of day.
~ ♥ ~
ReplyDeleteIs it too early for Indian Summer?
ReplyDeleteThat's more the second week of October to first week of November, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteHenson died of the same thing Edwin did (and kimmy's sister and Superman): Sepsis . . . . Amazing. It kills more people every year than heart attacks, and barely breaks the consciousness of the media.
ReplyDeleteI thought Jim Henson died of pneumonia. Guess I was misremembering. In any case, I knew it was preventable.
ReplyDeleteYou're right. This isn't like plane crashes. It's something that should have been eliminated years ago. But, I s'pose it's not glamorous enough for the media to take up.
Jim Henson was awesome. I miss him.
ReplyDeleteThe world is definitely a poorer place without him.
ReplyDeleteProlly remembering about right, Cat ~~ This is from the wikipedia. . . .
ReplyDeleteAt 4 a.m., he finally agreed to go to New York Hospital. By the time he was admitted at 4:58 a.m., he could no longer breathe on his own and had abscesses in his lungs. He was placed on a mechanical ventilator to help him breathe, but his condition deteriorated rapidly into septic shock despite aggressive treatment with multiple antibiotics. At 1:21 a.m. on May 16, 1990, 20 hours and 23 minutes after he was admitted, Henson died from organ failure at the age of 53 at New York Hospital.
The cause of death was first reported as streptococcus pneumonia, a bacterial infection.[6] Bacterial pneumonia is usually caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae, an alpha-hemolytic species of Streptococcus. Henson, however, died of organ failure due to infection by Streptococcus pyogenes, a severe Group A streptococcal infection.[30] S. pyogenes is the bacterial species that causes strep throat, scarlet fever, and rheumatic fever. It can also cause other infections.

Splendid news!
ReplyDeleteIt's not too late to celebrate National Punctuation Day.

Wow. I never knew what the cause was. My recollection is that at first the cause was kept under wraps. I wondered what it could be that they didn't want to reveal it. I wondered if he'd had AIDS or something. Now I suppose that everyone was just in shock. It's a lot to think about...sepsis. My youngest had a strep infection that was pretty awful last month. Fortunately he got the antibiotics just in time. Jim was way too young to die.
ReplyDeleteThe world is definitely a better place because of him.
ReplyDeleteI think perhaps the world is mad. Sis and I are carrying on a conversation, a couple of simultaneous conversations actually...on FB. Ahem, she's on the second floor and I'm on the third. *sigh*
ReplyDeleteI understand parent's text their kids from different rooms. . . .
ReplyDeleteSometimes that's the ONLY way I can get Daughter to communicate with me...
ReplyDeleteHey, whatever works. Sis and I communicate rather better over fB than in person.
