Three Hours Up; Nine Hours Down

(4)

That out of the way, I hereby raise a beer to the girl who said, 'Drink one for me,' as I was shopping at King Soopers yesterday. Here's to you, sweetie!'

Before I get too drunk I should make good on my promise of last week to describe an Acid Trip. Here goes:

An Acid Trip can be described as consisting of two phases with perhaps a plateau separating the two phases. Phase one can be described as, 'going up,' and phase two can be described as, 'coming down.' But these are 'druggie terms' which are essentially meaningless. I prefer the terms, 'Disassembly' and 'Reassembly:' Acid disassembles you. As the Acid wears off, you reassemble yourself. Simple as that. I would describe the 'plateau' as, 'the region of chaos' between phase one and phase two. This region only appears if you have done too much Acid; otherwise, the Acid Trip resembles a classic elongated sawtooth: three hours up; nine hours down.
