Not very familiar with him, but checking his songs written & covered by country giants, plus remembering that he was name-checked in a recent Dylan song, made me put his name in.

I hadn't seen Mr. Trebek in probably 30 years and so when I saw the news tonight I would have never even recognized him. It's always sad when nice folk die though and so I can only pray for his family.

Most would have heard by now that two cables holding the central receiver platform above the 300+ meter diameter dish of the telescope failed and each cable fell into the dish causing extensive damage.
There has been much discussion about repair or just let the poor thing expire. Last Monday, yesterday, the cable support system failed in total and the entire 900 ton receiver assembly fell 150+ meters into the already damaged dish below.

I liked that guy! Death is always an eventual reality. Yesterday I found out that my 97 year old Mom tested positive for COVID19. I cried and am crying, so bare with me if I seem like a bit of an asshole today. I'm mad! SO far she only has a mild fever, though. Our loved ones and the wider society of notoriety are all that we have.
"A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes." ~Mark Twain " *** far from science having buried God, not only do the results of science point towards his existence, but the scientific enterprise itself is validated by his existence.- Dr.John Lennox The whole war between the atheist and the theist comes down to this: the atheist believes a 'what' created the universe; the theist believes a 'who' created the universe.- Criss Jami, Killo The most difficult subjects can be explained to the most slow-witted man if he has not formed any idea of them already; but the simplest thing cannot be made clear to the most intelligent man if he is firmly persuaded that he knows already, without a shadow of a doubt, what is laid before him. Leo Tolstoy, The Kingdom of God is Within You(1894).
