Another sobering day

Steve Irwin is dead. Even though I am not as fanatical about the environment as Ju Ping, nor do I have as much access to Astro, I have grown up with his shows. Even now, more than 24 hours after he died, I still could not believe it happened. So what now? There is the very obvious reality that there will never be another 'Crocodile Hunter' show, in its current form at least. While there might be other environmental shows, 'Croc Hunter' had a certain charm that appealed to me as a youngster. Oh well, our time might come any time, so no sense in trying to avoid it. In that sense, I will always admire him, dying while doing what he loves best. I hope I will have the luxury of that one day.

RIP Steve Irwin.
