Guess it all depends on what one means when they say "tripping" . . .

	We were somewhere around Barstow on the edge of the desert
	when the drugs began to take hold. I remember saying
	something like "I feel a bit lightheaded; maybe you should drive.
	 . . ." And suddenly there was a terrible roar all around us and
	the sky was full of what looked like huge bats, all swooping and
	screeching and diving around the car, which was going about a
	hundred miles an hour with the top down to Las Vegas. And a
	voice was screaming: "Holy Jesus! What are these goddamn
	animals?"
