damn it all. Stan Lee was so much more than a visionary. He was a world builder, an iconoclast, a teacher, a poet. I proudly call myself a geek and he was one of my heroes. If there is ever a Mount Rushmore for pop culture royalty he will proudly be enshrined upon it.
Written through teary eyes ME

I send heartfelt thoughts and prayers to all of Stan Lee’s friends and families. May he forever Rest in Peace.

I’ve hit that stage in life where it is my heroes dying. David Bowie and Lemmy began a cycle of sorrowful loss. Luckily the world never forgets the truly great ones. They live on through the magic they cast.

There are many tears in my eyes this week. That is why my typing is crappy. The fires up here in Northern California have taken many lives of friends and loved ones of friends!

Thank you Mike.
So many people are missing!Many people had no time to get out of their homes! Loved ones of people I know! I’m higher elevation but I live in the heart of a forest. And our beautiful forest is overgrown, thick with trees(too many) and the edge of the forest is my backyard to the canyon which is filled with fallen branches(kindling)like many of California’s forests.These fire’s kill off many of the wildlife as well! But these disasters bring people together! Be at peace my friend …
