Mr. Shelby make one heck of a good quick chili mix. He will be missed.

His last race was in October 1960, at Laguna Seca in a Birdcage Maserati, where he wrapped up the 1960 USAC Sports Car Championship. Shelby drove most of that season with a nitroglycerin tablet under his tongue, while suffering chest pains from angina pectoris, insufficient blood supply to the heart.

"It was fun to blow off a Porsche with a $3900 donkey [the 1965 Shelby GT350 Mustang]."

RIP Mitchell Guist - He and his brother were a matched set, entertaining to watch, imagine their lifestyle. I hope Glenn pulls through alright.

What a shame. He was only 29.

[Sorry, just kidding. Couldn't resist it. Poor taste, etc.]

There's some irony that he went farther with a few add-on parts.

History, which produces the reality show with Original Media, said Guist would have turned 49 on Friday.

"We are extremely saddened to report that our friend and beloved member of the Swamp People family, Mitchell Guist, has passed away. ... Mitchell passed on the swamp, doing what he loved. We appreciate your respect for the Guist family's privacy and hope you join us in sending our thoughts and prayers to his brother, Glenn, and the rest of the Guist family," the network said in a statement.

Carlos Fuentes, Latin American literary giant, dies in Mexico

MEXICO CITY -- The prize-winning writer Carlos Fuentes, modern Mexico’s greatest novelist and indefatigable author of screenplays, stories and often-scolding commentaries, died Tuesday at a hospital in Mexico City. He was 83.

The national culture council announced Fuentes' death. Although it did not immediately specify a cause, some Mexican news reports said he had checked in a night earlier with heart problems. But the prolific Fuentes, who said he had begun a new novel on the heels of another recently completed one, was not publicly known to be ailing. ...

Fuentes, who also served as a Mexican diplomat, gained wide acclaim for novels such as "Aura" and "The Death of Artemio Cruz," part of a generation of world-class writers from Latin America. U.S. movie audiences may recall the film based on the Fuentes novel "The Old Gringo," which starred Gregory Peck and Jane Fonda.

He won numerous literary prizes and was perennially mentioned as a possible candidate for the Nobel Prize in literature, but never won it.

Gibb had suffered from a number of health problems, including cancer, and last month was hospitalized in a coma after he contracted pneumonia.

It's been a bad week for disco.

Soon there will be tears rollin' down my world
Keeper of my flame
Time and tide is on my side, it stands forever
There will be nights of love and yes there will be tears

I will not sleep tonight. There will be tears tonight
I will not sleep tonight. There will be tears
I will not sleep tonight. There will be tears tonight
I will not sleep tonight. There will be tears

I was in basic training for the WRNS when SNF was the box office blockbuster. Our house Petty Officer would boogie to the shower dressed only in a towel and carrying a boom box blasting out the soundtrack to SNF. It is an iconic moment for me. The sound track of SNF will be forever burned in my memory. I will remember it on my deathbed. I seriously am sad at the loss of this icon, if only for me. This defined a moment in my life.

There was a good week?
