Not sure if this qualifies as notable, but who doesn’t remember “Whoa, double rainbow all the way OMG!”
Yep, that guy, aged 57 years.

He also noted in the report his “Double Rainbow guy” fame: “You can’t look at a rainbow anymore and not think about me. That’s just the way it is.”
Basically true.

Nah, that’s a bit grandiose. I saw one a couple of days ago, and he honestly didn’t come to mind.
Now if it’d been a double rainbow…

This is a gut punch to me, even though he was terribly old and his wife had already died a few years ago, so in a way it’s amazing he made it this long.

He definitely qualifies as notable. He brought a sense of carefree love of nature. It was over the top. It was uncomfortable. And it was lovely. Hearing that he died made me very sad today. It’s like a piece of the beauty of rainbows has faded. Now, it’s just us.

I think I only ever ordered the tortilla-crusted catfish there (many times).
Then there’s this at the end:
Historic closures: Magnolia Cafe | Threadgill’s | Enchiladas Y Mas
The latter’s fajitas were a favorite; never had the Enchiladas just the “y Mas”

Dear lord! I almost had a heart attack thinking this was Monty himself. Nigel was a very sweet dog, though. Seemed to be very comfortable with just throwing himself down nearby while Monty was planting out.

My fellow oldies might recall Fred Willard on Fernwood Tonight.

Dang, never would have guessed he was in his mid-80s. He always seemed so spry and quick-witted, in the “sharp guy pretending to be a dumb guy for laughs” kind of way.
I guess that means his embarrassing lewd conduct arrest at the adult movie theater (and good-spirited, self-deprecating commentary of same) happened when he was what, 78? Kind of impressive, actually!

So, if you look him up on duck duck go, he was born in 1933 and if you look him up on Google Chrome, he’s born in 1939…

Alta Vista says he was the last Chancellor of the Free State of Prussia… but that doesn’t seem right either.

Legendary entomologist Terry Erwin passes away at age 79
Erwin is perhaps best known for his estimate of the number of species on the planet. In the early 1980s, he fogged whole trees in the tropics with insecticide and caught the fallout in sheets to determine the diversity of arthropods in the canopy. He used that number to estimate that there may be up to 30 million species living on the Earth, a figure that was much higher than previous estimates of around 1.5 million and one that “revolutionized the study of biodiversity,” Johnson said.
