This is bat country, my friends

And if the title leaves you scratching your head, read the first few pages of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas... and then keep going. It's a moment of pure writing brilliance on so many levels. It came to mind this evening as many random thoughts have run through this tired brain. And, while on my Facebook account this evening, I clicked my Hunter Thompson quote generator for a bit of wisdom from the Good Doctor and got the following (from another book, Hell's Angels):

The Edge ... there is no honest way to explain it because the only people who really know where it is are the ones who have gone over.

Seemed oh-so-appropriate on my day. This particular quote always feels like F&L to me, like it would fit into the section of the book talking about the wave and watermark. And so, it causes me to pick up the well worn copy of F&L and take it all in again; not sure whether to laugh or cry that in well over 30 years, it is still sharply relevant.
