The news hit me like a mint leaf. A mint leaf that has been wrapped around a gold brick. Mr Adams was a pivotal part of my early adulthood. I even ran a single line BBS called "The Mostly Harmless BBS" back in the days when people actually knew what a BBS was. I played the part of the Vogon captain in a drama class reading of THGGTG. I hope wherever Mr Adams is right now he is enjoying a sandwich and a cup filled with a murky liquid resembling tea. Wherever he is, maybe he now knows the question that goes to the answer of life, the univers, and everything. I think I'm going to go and lie down in the dirt for a bit. This is a picture of Doug from his website that was used to create a terrain in Bryce 4's terrain editor. No post-production was used at all. I hope I feel better soon because this really knocked me back.
