From Horace,

 Many of you I am sure fondly remember the many fun postings here from the
 Dime Box Saloon by Richard C Macaulay.  I was surprised recently to find
 this obituary for him:

 http://obit.memorialoakschapel.com/obitdisplay.html?task=Printid=757483

 He died Feb. 19, 2010.

 He had much expertise in the practical generation and use of vortices, as
 well as the politics of energy and economics in Texas. His contributions and
 good humor posted from the Dime Box Saloon, his fictitious hangout, have
 been missed.

Thanks, Horace.

Nice to hear from you.

Richard's DBS was a whimsical place to hang out in. He is probably
bartending there right now.

I was afraid of this, back when Richard stopped posting. 

I had even checked the obits in that area a couple of times when he didn't
answer email.

... a true character ... but I'm not so sure the Dime Box was fictitious ?

Speaking of another old warrior, we have not heard from Mike Carrell
in a spell. Actually, for quite some time now. Considering recent
events I would have expected something akin to a rebuttal from Mike,
particularly in regards to his position, (or defense), of BLP. Mike is
up there in years. Several years ago he had what I believe was a minor
stroke that slightly impaired his speech.

An email I sent to Mike last weekend has not yet been answered. I hope
he is vacationing.

Can anyone shed any light on the matter?

The romantic in me likes to think it was real. Maybe not in this plane of 
reality, whatever it is, but *somewhere*.

I liked R.C.

We talked quite a bit off-list about many things. All sorts of topics, 
scientific or otherwise. When he stopped responding, I had hoped it was just 
due to being busy or perhaps only a transient illness.

R.C., wherever you are, take care my friend. And give 'em hell the next time 
two guys play an ace of diamonds at the same time. And save me a stool at the 
bar, life's only a few days and full of trouble. I'll walk in the door one day, 
in the course of time.
