Looks like tkil is going to be in town this coming weekend. Sent out an announcement for a BBQ friday night in his honor. If anyone reading this is in the area and wants to attend, drop me an email and I will give you directions. Should be a fun time.
In other news I have some friends coming up from New Mexico today. They are coming up to pick up a horse, so they borrowed a horse trailer from someone and started heading up. Driving down the interstate they noticed a flapping noise, yes, one of the tires had died a most greusome death. No problem, the trailer has a spare. Much unbolting and jacking and so forth, then moving the spare over and it becomes clear that: The spare is the wrong sized tire. The spare is not the same bolt pattern. The spare is flat. So, they just limped into pubelo and picked up a new tire before heading up.
Finally (and I promise this will be it), I found an interesting story on LSD. It turns out that LSD usage and sales have plummeted in recent years. It's really hard to get anymore. This can be pretty directly traced to two things: In 2000 they busted some guys who were making LSD (with 91 POUNDS of it on hand), who were estimated to have been the suppliers for 95% of the US market. Secondly, the Dead stopped touring. Dead shows were a prime place for buyers and sellers to meet up, when that went away it became much harder to make that connection. Anyhow, interesting story: slate on acid.
