So long and thanks for all the trips

Today Albert Hoffman passed away at the age of 102. Would the world we live in be the same without his discovery? my world would probably be very different indeed. Albert, you are in my thoughts as you go on that final trip into the unknown. Maybe someday the crazy suppression of your invention will be lifted and we will all learn what to do with it. Once the box is open, trying to close it only leads to trouble. Maybe as the wheel turns we'll all get wiser about this.
Love to all of you, especially those of you who shared his 'problem child' with me.
