Crikey! So Long, Steve...

I woke up to find the news about "Crocodile Hunter" Steve Irwin. When he first got big in the US, I was a huge fan. His antics usually scared me to near tears, but I loved every minute of it. I got caught up in his passion for the animals. I moved on to other shows after a few years, but am still deeply saddened and shocked by his death. He was a treat to watch, and a television staple. I'm thrilled, however, that he died doing what he loved; playing with and learning about the animals. So long Steve...Here's a link to the story.
