I get it, the post you entitled "Boil some water, lots of it" - that's
a line from one of those Pat Hobby stories ole F Scott Fitzgerald
wrote. I actually read those, and that is the only thing I can remember
from them...but it's a pretty good line, anyway...you feel for the guy,
don't you?  Sheesh, I hope TRP isn't in that bad a shape!

It strikes me that you and Robin have staked out territories that
aren't all that incompatible.  A dark view of the human condition/the
machinations of the CIA...a mystic vision/a vision informed by sacramental
drug use.
