happy 75th, LSD!
So, 75 years ago today, Swiss chemist Albert Hofmann took the first intentional acid trip, now known as Bicycle Day as fleshed out here. Hofmann had accidentally absorbed some of his synthesis a few days before, which piqued his scientific curiosity. The rest is history and the potential of this drug is still unlimited, although ignorance and hysteria is doing its best to, well, limit it.
The traditional gift for a 75th anniversary is a diamond, so please enjoy this gift from Steely Dan. It’s a paean to the excesses of the 60’s, based loosely on the exploits of counter-culture legend Owsley Stanley, with a nod to Ken Kesey. And this:
“Just by chance you crossed the diamond with the pearl. You turned it on the world. That’s when you turned the world around.”
Enjoy your day.

so, Chuck & Tina could have been trippin’ when you where created?
It is hypothetically possible, I.P., but as a highly-trained mental health professional and a favourite of Ma, you can make an educated guess.
