Psilocybin in the News
Sena alerted me to an interesting news item about psilocybin which a case report describes the agent improving a Japanese American woman’s dementia. It was a whopping dose of 5 grams, which I guess is much larger than usual. She also received a second 3-gram dose: Lago M, Cerveira M and Simonet JX (2026) Transient…

I Look Back Once in a While
Every once in a while, I look back in my past. It’s not always the greatest thing to do, but when most of the memories are good, then it’s OK, I guess. I saw something that made me do this about a week ago while I was taking a walk around the block. It’s a…

You Have to Read the Reblogs About Florida Man!
This is a twofer reblog because you get two blogs for the price of one! No, you don’t have to buy anything. The main event is a song entitled “Florida Man” by Selwyn Birchwood, mainly because I first heard it a few years ago on what is now, sadly, the retired Big Mo Blues Show,…

Da Blues with Bobby D: I Prefer “Bye Bye Blues”

What it taught me belatedly is that you just can’t fix everything. I think my frustration was obvious to the trainees and…

I read an interesting essay yesterday in an issue of Iowa Now about a great story in Greek mythology. It’s the story of The Odyssey, which I have difficulty remembering how to spell. And that reminds me of a couple of anecdotes. They both involve my learning about Greek mythology from two great teachers at…

It’s the last day of Cow Week and Mike Waters is doing his wake-up call this morning. And he announced that today is National Donut Day! I had no idea. He’s wondering whether there are any bakeries in Eastern Iowa that could get a shout-out for it. I had to look this up on the…

Cow Cap for Cow Week & Other Mysteries
I went to the mall yesterday and just for the heck of it went to a cap shop (no, not the cop shop; I was a good boy!) and bought a cow cap! The store is called Lids Locker Room for obvious reasons. I told the salesman why I wanted it, filling him on the…

Being Still Along the Terry Trueblood Trail
The other day I was out for a walk along the Terry Trueblood Trail. It was sunny, a little warm but not blistering hot. I saw a few interesting things. This was almost like an awe walk. I saw a couple of chalk written messages on the walk. One of them was “Enjoy the Ride”…
