"We are all wired into a survival trip now. No more of the speed that fueled that 60's. That was the fatal flaw in Tim Leary's trip. He crashed around America selling "consciousness expansion" without ever giving a thought to the grim meat-hook realities that were lying in wait for all the people who took him seriously... All those pathetically eager acid freaks who thought they could buy Peace and Understanding for three bucks a hit. But their loss and failure is ours too. What Leary took down with him was the central illusion of a whole life-style that he helped create... a generation of permanent cripples, failed seekers, who never understood the essential old-mystic fallacy of the Acid Culture: the desperate assumption that somebody... or at least some force - is tending the light at the end of the tunnel."

Where are we right now?
Can we recognise, that the light at the end of the tunnel, it is not a way to escape, rather an another terrible accident.

I haven't in a good mood lately, you can suspect it.

You may ask, what do you want really, Gyuri?
My answer is simple and straightforward:
I want my son.

Gyuri, I know you are often in a bad mood. The (bad) past and its consequences cannot be undone. But life goes on. And for many, it is still an ongoing battle. I have never mentioned in a a pub, but life ain't easy for many of us. I had three sons. One of them died after only 6 days. The other one (his twin) survived, but not without consequences, as he has a Celebral Palsy and cannot walk, and we don't know if he ever will. We have to "fight" each day, doing extensive physical therapy, and hope that he will be allright. He is only 4 years old. The eldest son, is 6 and he is fine. That said, we are looking to emigrate to Canada, but there are many obstacles, and we don't know if we will suceed.
So, don't be in a bad mood. This Pub may not be a light in the end of a tunnel, but surely it is a light torch in the dark tunnel. Cheer up and keep going! 🙂

Dear Vix,
I terribly sorry to hear that.
It is hard to say anything in this situation.
I can feel your pain.
You and your family need a lot of energy and patience for your fight, now and in the future.
I bestow my very best wishes to you and your beloved ones!

Gyuri

Sounds more pleasant than the real deal.

I lived for years in an apartment with a nurse neighbour above me who played Dire Straits records only, most days a week, on varying hours depending on her shifts.

Ever since, I'm allergic to Mark Knopfler accords, and Mark Knopfler.
PTL that band split up 25 years ago.

I'll have you two gentlemen know that the world renowned Fly Fishers' Club once shared facilities with Brooks' ! The FFC had enough sense to take over the attic rooms of the Cavalry Club and - later - the attic rooms of the Saville Club in which it is still ensconced!!

So there! 😛
