RIP Capt. McNeil.
I’ve been enjoying Kojak on Me-TV in the later part of the afternoon.
I recently became a convert to Me-TV. Good stuff.
Me-TV is great!
RIP.
Me-TV is like the old independent stations that ran whatever they wanted and could afford. I miss those.
Before I go out to the mines in the evenings, I can at least get my Perry Mason, Cannon, and Hawaii 5-0 fix in.

Salt mine? Gold mine? Coal mine?
He picked a bad day to check out. Kim is going to get all the attention.
Prayers for his family.

I like ME-TV too! I’ve been recording some of their shows so I can watch at night.
Kind of like C. S. Lewis, who died the same day as John F. Kennedy.
Aldous Huxley died on that day, too. His wife gave him a hundred hits worth of LSD on his death bed.

That’s an interesting little tid bit. did she get in trouble or was it kept quiet for a long time?
It was at his request, and I don’t think LSD was illegal or regulated in 1963. At that time it was mainly an interesting chemical which had been invented by Dr. Albert Hofmann in 1938. Professional people (and the CIA) studied its effects in the ‘50s and ‘60s, but it didn’t really become a recreational drug until the mid ‘60s.
Aldous Huxley’s ‘Doors of Perception’ is an interesting read (in addition to being the inspiration for the name of Jim Morrison’s band). In that book Huxley wrote about his experiments with mescaline, which is derived from peyote and has hallucinatory effects similar to LSD.

Thanks very much, L H.
I remembered that as soon as I posted about C.S. Lewis.
