Wow!

    Tricky Dick, Cambodia, Kent State, visit to the draft board,
petchulie oil, two months hitching around the country with a clarinet in
my magnesium alloy "Astral Cruiser" back pack, George Wallis shot? Slept
under a bridge in Indiana and on a porch in Berkeley. Partied all night in
the Arboretum in Ann Arbor. Drank beer and ate cheese by the lake in
Madison. Nearly got arrested in Texas. I seem to remember something about
space travel.
I did take up time and space in college.
