I too remember taking numerous 'trips' and actually seeing the grass grow and hearing my cats talk to me. A fine piece of writing.

I also lived the 60's in Boulder Colorado.......while not a narc, I was very conservative, did not do drugs, and supported the war in Vietnam, in fact was a "Young Republican". Hey what did I know? I think I missed out on a few things! Very funny story.

What fond memories of a time that seemed to presage world harmony. As for me, I can remember clearly when the horse in a picture on the wall began to move his head...

Grant\'s writing is spare but crystal clear. Like a great painter, just a few well made lines convey a world of meaning. This is really, really, good! Grant, more please, sir.

Most interesting was the Grant's description of the effects of Acid. "I looked with amazement at my fingers. I saw the atoms of my fingertips - the surrounding atoms had no demarcation." Grant sure has a way with words and really helps paint his readers into the picture of what it was like. I don't know how most people made it through the 60's but I'm glad Grant did to share with us this great slice of time.
