LOVE LOVE LOVE Burning Man...I was so sad to miss it this year.
I did watch the streaming video a few times, but made me homesick.

Today there are still hippy minded people...take a look at the Burning Man community. If that doesn't harken back to Woodstock days I don't know what would!
Back when I followed the Grateful Dead, I thought of myself as a flower child. Because of my age and identity at that time, it seemed to fit me quite nicely.  |
