Bob Crockett Has Passed Away

[MsJack]

At MD&D, Scott Lloyd mentioned that Bob was a marathon runner and cyclist. Cinepro, who is in the same stake, noted that "They didn't say what the cause was, but I suspect I'll hear through the grapevine soon."

Yeah he was extremely healthy and physically active.

Since seeing cinepro's post, I've been fearing the worst.

That's is why one of my several philosophies of life is this: "A person is allotted only a finite amount of heartbeats in his or her life. Why burn through them prematurely by running or cycling?"

I’ll miss Bob.

I miss Jonny.

I’d like to hear from ludwigm…

Life is far too short

Because many of us simply do what we enjoy in life and assume those pleasures even if it cuts our time a little short.

Life is about choices and deciding what it is that brings us fulfillment and pleasure.

So pour yourself a nice tall glass of something and relax. For Christ's sake.

Well, I'm feeling my own mortality upon learning about Bob's death. I went to law school with Bob. His style then was as it has been in his postings here. I'll leave it at that.

He and I disagreed mightily here, years ago, over the so-called city-state status of Nauvoo under its charter from the State of Illinois. That is an argument put forth by apologists in trying to defend the conduct of Joseph and Hyrum Smith in ordering the sheriff to trash the Nauvoo Expositor's printing capabilities as not a violation of federal or state constitutional or statutory law. As a city-state, it would be a sovereign not subject to either the laws of Illinois or the United States despite being geographically located inside both. The apologetic argument tries to maintain that Nauvoo was not subject to the jurisdiction or laws of either the federal government or the state of Illinois, so it was okay for Mayor Joe and the councilmen, including Hyrum, to deprive the proprietors of the Expositor of their rights. (That argument hinged on the Mormons of the time claiming the city's charter was irrevocable. For today's apologists particularly, nevermind the fact that it was revoked by the State of Illinois in January 1845, a full year before the Mormons began departing from Nauvoo. Also, nevermind the conundrum that Mormons claim that the U.S. Constitution and its protections were divinely inspired, but it was okay for Joseph and Hyrum to defy its dictates and under color of governmental authority, deprive the Expositor's proprietors of some of those divinely-inspired rights. But hey, if God wanted Nephi to take Laban's life, how important can free expression and freedom of the press really be?)

Bob tried to salvage the apologists from the 2nd Watson Letter fiasco by attacking the validity of the 1st (and actual) Watson Letter (in October 1990) about the location of the Book of Mormon "Hill Cumorah" being in upstate New York. Bob posited in an article (unpublished I believe) he drafted that the 1st Watson Letter was dubious because it was in a right-justified font, and such was quite rare in 1990. When pointed out a couple of months ago that a routine letter from the First Presidency dated 1988 had right-justified font, for which 1988 letter an image is available on the internet, Bob quickly responded that he'd be correcting his article.

Those are my remembrances of Bob.

Exercise lowers your resting heart rate to the point that, even if you keep your rate elevated, such as exercising for 60 minutes a day at 120 bpm, your heart beats less on average because of exercise.

No exercise 70 bpm x 60 minutes = 4200 bph
4200 bph x 24hrs = 100,800 bpd

Regular daily exercise 55bpm x 60 minutes = 3300 bph
3300 bph x 23hrs = 75,900
75,900 + 7200 (1hour of exercise at 120 bpm) = 83,100 bpd
