I am also curious...is this the first non-breathing thing that has made it to Deathlist?

I think so, although those Russian submariners were fairly close

I cannot say as how this really effects me since I have not used my camera for almost 3 years and it had been 7 years prior to that.

I think you may find that lots of non-breathing things make it onto the forum. :huh:

But not as many as non-thinking brats.

Lucky Thompson - saxophonist of some repute in jazz circles - has just run out of luck.

 

Marking the death with a track on his show tonight Sir Humphrey Littleton remarked - and I'm paraphrasing - so many old jazzers are dying he's got to be selective about the ones he mentions on the show. Anyone looking to update this thread every week could do worse than tune into BBC Radio Two 8-9 on a Monday.

Console yourself with this:

 

"Hardly a green, just a faint airborne premonition

That soon a green tinged mist will envelop supple birches.

The timorous northern love of the slow greening of birch trees.

The waiting. The breathlessness. The almost choking tenderness.

Unseen. Unheard. The buds of birch unfurl. There's still

A lull between the owl's moan and the lark's trill. It's still

A black time - a pulsating streak between the white and the green.

Not quite a green, just a faint airborne premonition."

 

(The Black Time by Vizma Belsevica, translated from the Latvian by Mara Rozitis )

 

says it all!
