Dr. Albert Hofmann died yesterday, April 29, 2008. Why haven’t I gotten one of those “urgent news updates” from CNN or the Atlanta paper? Losing him is certainly more newsworthy than most of the things they do alert me about, like sports scores! A commenter (and I don’t know where the comment went, unfortunately) let […] Today was the monthly visit to the pain doc, which requires trekking across town to Fascist County.
