Remembering Hunter S. Thompson

I am currently reading a collection of writings by Hunter S. Thompson. I haven't read anything by Thompson in years, although I was once quite a big fan of his.  He was actually a kind of role model for me.  In times of stress, I would say to myself, "What would Hunter do in a situation like this?"  And then I would take some sort of decisive action.  In fact, that is how I wound up in Denver, although, I must say, I actually drove out to Denver from Chicago in my car.  I didn't just wake up in a hotel room wondering how I got there, like Thompson would have done.  No one can aspire to that level of greatness.
