Dan the man

I used to drive from Sarasota Florida to Buffalo New York every spring and visa versa in the fall, I had 2 weeks to make the trip, but my most memorable trip wasn’t a road trip at all. I was 18 years old in 1978 the year of the great blizzard, the state of CT. had to shut down there was so much snow, nearly 3 feet. After a day or two they opened a few of the major roads but a lot were nearly impassable, I called a friend to see if he wanted to go driving around he said yes I picked him up he gets in the car and hands me a hit of acid we both take it and hit the road. First thing I did was find a gas station and filled my car and an extra gas can, we grabbed some gas station food and drinks it wasn’t long after leaving the gas station that the acid began to kick in. First thing is the laughing at the slightest comments, we found an empty parking lot and started doing donuts, slipping and sliding, music blasting, everything spinning so fast we had to stop and get out of the car, we were seeing different things non of them were real, like the snow men that came walking out of the store, a store that had been closed because of the snow, they were talking smack so we got back in the car and ran them over, only it was a snow pile and not snow men. At that point we left and headed down town the road was a living being pushing the car from left to right, right to left, up and down traffic lights were flashing all different colors all the office buildings were melting into the streets. That was the beauty of LSD you saw things that never happened weren’t real only existed in your mind, but felt real, so real in fact you can remember the experience 43 years later.
