Bill Hicks - Just a Ride

Bill Hicks Just a Ride, originally uploaded by androidny.

This glimpse of wisdom was a result of Bill and his close friends going out laying in a field for four hours while under the influence of mushrooms. Here's what he had to say about it:

"I think it's interesting the two drugs that are legal - alcohol and cigarettes, two drugs that do absolutely nothing for you at all - are legal, and the drugs that might open your mind up to realise how you're being fucked every day of your life? Those drugs are against the law. Coincidence? See, I'm glad mushrooms are against the law, cos I took 'em one time, you know what happened to me? I laid in a field of green grass for four hours, going, 'My God, I love everything.' Yeah, now if that isn't a hazard to our countries...How are we gonna justify arms dealing if we know we're all one?"    --Bill Hicks

This man, if he were in the 'political arena' today would have a tough row to hoe... But I would venture to guess that the character of this man would inspire millions to join the good fight right along his side.

Pan-STARRS comet of 2013 taken with the crescent moon. If you are in the PC web view, you can move your mouse over the image to see where I have marked the location of the comet or from the moon, look up and to the left at about 10 o'clock about 2/3 the way over on the image, you'll see a white speck and upwards to the left, you'll see what looks like a smear which is actually the tail.

Aunt Don's Box of Memories

Aunt Don's Box of Memories, a set on Flickr.

I stumbled across this and many other negatives contained in a box which was all that was left of my great aunt Donella Smith. I had to fashion a template out of poster board in order to get them to fit on the scanner bed. Most of these haven't been seen in probably 92 years. What as the scanned images appeared on the screen made my hair stand on end as I sat in astonishment.
