Ursula K Le Guin, 88
The left Hand of Darkness was truly a monumental work of fiction. I'll have to dig out my old paperback copy and read it again if my wife will just stop chopping all those darn onions.

"Mit der Dummheit kämpfen Götter selbst vergebens."
("Against stupidity, the gods themselves contend in vain.")
-- Friedrich Schiller (1759–1805)
Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away.
-- Philip K Dick
What happens when all the renewable energy runs out?
-- Victoria Ayling
English isn't much of a language for swearing. When I studied Ancient Greek I was delighted to discover a single word - Rhaphanidosthai - which translates roughly as "Be thou thrust up the fundament with a radish for adultery."

Re: Did you hear who died?
:( I saw that on Fleetwood Mac's FB page. I gave them my condolences. Irritatingly the profile admin had to make a post reminding readers that they would be blocked if they harassed the band about him, because they were. 
I wrote a song yesterday, actually, as tribute to those our own community here has lost. It has lyrics and music although it'd need to be looked at by actual musicians to arrange, produce, and record it. I'm waiting on a friend's input as to how to share it without me messing stuff up copyright-wise (I'd like it to be recorded by my Clubhouse's band, Organized Chaos, and any proceeds to go to NAMI, or something along those lines), but so far she hasn't said anything. Unless you have any ideas, Roy? I mean obviously it's about our community and you are a recording artist, so I imagine you know about it too. I just don't want to accidentally do something that would render it public-domain or let someone else claim copyright or something foolish like that. I usually share my "music" publicly but this is a bit different.

Re: Did you hear who died?
Gaby's Deli in London
Why am I posting this in RIP?
Gaby's has been in the West End for over 50 years, just off Leicester Square. They do awesome salt beef sarnies, and great falafels, and their lasagne is rather special too.
They survived an attempt to force them out a few years ago, in part because so many people, including the likes of Simon Callow, Vanessa Redgrave, Miriam Margolyes and Alex James rallied round.
But now the owner, 82 year old Gaby Elyahou is retiring, and his nephew (a sprightly 72) feels he can no longer hold the fort against the likes of chain restaurants who can pay higher rents.
Truly the end of an era. Deserves a proper obituary I think
