Wow. :(

Hey, not to sound off-color, but has anyone else noticed that a lot of famous people have been dying recently?

Herb Saffir
The lead singer of Quiet Riot
The Bassist of Hawthorne Heights
That football player whose name escapes me.
and now the creator of Gatorade.

May they all rest in peace.

R.I.P. Robert Cade.

Gatorade happens to be one of my favorite drinks.
