Mr. Rogers passed on this morning.  He was suffering from stomach cancer for a few years before.  It was progressive and lethal with little or no hope from the beginning.

I just want to ask you guys any opinions on this matter.  I thought it might be nice to post this in the community.

It sucked less than 99.99999999999967% of children's shows (make that 100% if you're talking about the last five years), even if my pedophile-dar went off every time I saw him.
Webpage. Yes.

I think you meant passed away. Sad. I'll always remember those days.... :(

For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well.

Oh, I don't know.  That episode where Big Bird came to visit was pretty cool.  And I always liked it when he built something out of cardboard or blocks or clay. :)

Mister Rogers was cool.  At least he's home now. :)
