Tim Leary's LSD cult in Zihuatanejo

So I clicked on this thread anticipating something a little more ummm...contemporary.

What a very interesting piece of history!! That would have been a very cool time to be around here. Unfortunately I was only about 9 years old and even worse...living in Kentucky.

Hey now. I resemble that remark. Land of smooth bourbon, Abe Lincoln, fast women and beautiful horses! And in summer, the "darkies" are GAY. (No offense to my darker friends.)

While all that is certainly true, I was 9 and living in a trailer park in Covington.
We moved there from Cape Canaveral and I was so out of my element. Them kids didn't know jack shit about space.

Ha! But you had Cincinnati right there. A big beautiful city full of theaters, every kind of store, museums and its amazing zoo. And the mighty Ohio River full of history, culture, adventure and lore.

When I was a kid in Louisville I knew quite a bit about the space program, its missions and astronauts. I had models of many of the rockets and even the Lunar Landing Module. You just needed to come downriver a bit.

And what a coincidence. I ended up in Titusville near where you started off. It was one of my favorite places in Florida because the tourists only showed up for a few hours during launches, otherwise we had the place all to ourselves, though I preferred the beaches of the Gulf to the Atlantic.
