Bye, Bye, Scotty

I admit it - I'm a Trekkie - so I'm sad to hear James Doohan (85), of Star Trek infamy, died this morning of pneumonia and Alzheimer's disease. A Canadian who at 19 lost a finger on D-Day, Doohan was known to many as the talented and accented Scottish engineer of the Starship Enterprise. He was also the inventor of the Klingon language. He lived long and prospered and, hopefully, God's beamed him up.
