He might have been the original Gritizen: Tacoma-born Richard Brautigan would have been 73 today.
Here's a Brautigan excerpt that NPR's The Writer's Almanac highlighted in honor of the day:
"The sun was like a huge 50-cent piece that someone had poured kerosene on and then had lit with a match, and said, 'Here, hold this while I go get a newspaper,' and put the coin in my hand, but never came back."
So in honor of Brautigan, feel free to offer your own surreal ending to the phrase "The sun was like ... "
(Not that any of us around here would remember what the sun was like)
