I'm loathe to mention it after your talk on blood sugar but I am eating blueberry pie for breakfast. It's making a real interesting stain on this paper plate here. Damndest things will fascinate me.

Huichol ‘cosmic portal’ peyote ceremonies threatened by silver mine



REAL DE CATORCE, Mexico — For the Huichol Indians, the desert mountains here are sacred, a cosmic portal with major mojo, where shamans collect the peyote that fuels the waking dreams that hold the universe together.

For a Canadian mining company, these same hills look like a billion dollars worth of buried silver.

Money fascinates me.

Yeah, I not only like looking at it, but handling it, from coin to bill, and the things it can do or not... and thinking about it, the voice of it in the land ... I always remember Brautigan's poem about it - the one where he said you should always spend a dollar as if you were spending a wounded eagle...

Bottom dollar, It looks like the end, oh how I hate to see you go
Bottom dollar we've been the best of friends
I guess I counted on you a hundred times or more
Oh my how those eagles fly , goodbye bottom dollar goodbye

Oh bottom dollar , well all your friends are gone
They've been blown on the dancehall girls and wine

Bottom dollar Well now if the truth was known
You've been the best friend I've ever known
