Bobert. I knew Charlie too. I don't know a lot about what happened, I was out of town and found out only today. But I do know it was about a lot more than a $6,000 bill. I'm trying to decide how I feel, but I'm not mad at him.

He had a lot of problems. Emphysema bad enough to have to haul around the oxygen container from time to time. Diabetes. And a series of strokes that put him in the hospital just before he died. He's been saying for months that he didn't have long to live. His health was deteriorating rapidly and he lost a lot of weight just recently. Obviously more was going on in his body than most of us knew. Maybe the diabetes was worse than anyone thought. He reportedly checked himself out of the hospital, against doctors wishes, after his strokes.

I think what happened was: he went home after his hospital escape, he fell, an ambulance came, he knew he was dying and was afraid that the ambulance was going to bring him back to the hospital. And that was that.

So, I'm not mad. I might have done the same thing.
