One other item associated with "acid" since you gentlemen so eloquently brought it up. Does the name: "Augustus Owsley Stanley III" sound familiar to any of you?

Are you knocking my state symbol/seal... 
It seems like the older type folks around here can trace their afflictions to the 1960's in a far off land on the other side of the world.

No Place to Hide By Glenn Greenwald
If you are one that is into the Ed Snowden saga, this is a must read book. Picked it up this week and only put it down to two reasons.
