Pills and potatos

I am reading Into The Wild, it's a true story of a young man who went into the Alaskan wilderness to escape his family and he died there alone. Some people say he was a cocky greenhorn, but, I don't think he was. He did pretty good at living off the land in hard circumstances until he ate wild potato seeds. His field guide book failed to tell him potato seeds are poisonous. Anyway, it's interesting. I've done that shit..going off alone into harsh places because I needed to escape. Not for months though, like he did. The longest I stayed out in the wilderness alone was two weeks. I stayed on my remote farm for a year once though. So I can kind of relate to this kid.

Anyhow, Lissa left with her Mom and new Dad and I took a couple of those leftover Percodans and I feel a lot better. The rage is only smoldering now underneath. I don't want to kill anyone or burn anything down. And Miss Peggy and I are going to grab our cameras when it cools off and go scouting for pictures in abandoned houses. I feel much better knowing I can escape for a few hours and the pills don't hurt. People who are against drugs..are not me. Okay? The doctors should give me a barrel of these things every month instead of all the stupid shit they offer (and I don't take.)

Those are two varieties of wild potato's. I don't think we have that purple one, but, we have the Morning Glory one. Morning Glory seeds are a hallucinogenic..you don't want to fuck with them. There's a lot more to the way they can kill you than that, it has to do with enzyme blocking, but, I'll spare you. But, the wild one's roots are considered to be a potato and are quite edible. I'm told. I might pull some and sniff it. Doubt I'd eat it. It's always good to learn plants that can save your life, just in case though. You never know.
