P writing on drugs? Re: On The Road (Destination: Starbucks)

[Steven]

	There's an authorial 'aside' towards the end of VL that I noticed  
recently, p. 285 of the original hb: "And these acid adventures, they  
came in those days and they went, some we gave away and forgot,  
others sad to say turned out to be fugitive or false -- but with luck  
one or two would get saved to go back to at certain later moments in  
life."

	Not an unbridled recommend by any means, but you get the notion that  
he's speaking from personal experience there, even though it's tagged  
onto Zoyd's recollection of Prairie's birth.   The gritty details --  
eg. 'the colors of the afterbirth' --  make me wonder if P didn't  
drop the quarter tab himself at his own son's birth, which would've  
occurred around the time he was polishing off VL.

	That said, I'll leave you two to your feast of reason and flow of  
soul.  You rilly like each other, don't you?
