Nope, downlining will have the weight above the hook, drop shot has
the
weight on the end. Downlining is akin to like a salmon mooching and
some
tuna rigs for live bait.

You know what - I owe Bassy an apology - you and he are exactly
right.

I blame my dyslexia. :)

I think youse is takin' acid again.

Believe it or not, that was one thing I didn't take.

And what with all the flashbacks and the like, I'm just as glad I
didn't. :)

Pussy!

If you insist.

Acid always scared me. Might have been the one drug I could take without
throwing up. Was at a party at UC Berkeley, and shortly after I left, one
of the people there stated he was going to get in the passing airplane and
walked out a 3rd story window. Figured that was not a good side effect.


I got unusually lucky. Syracuse U. screwed up somehow and instead of being
in a room with another freshman, I was placed with a junior - Louie the
accounting major / farmer. When I moved in, he explained that my closet was
occupied. It contained a bunch of Gro-Lights and a half dozen really robust
pot plants. He told me that if I did acid, be sure there was a babysitter. I
petitioned to be moved out because at that time, the NY State Police had a
mandate to beat the snots out of anyone who possessed that many pot plants.
I figured it was just a matter of time before Louie was taken away in
manacles. When I was relocated to the freshman dorm, I brought his advice
with me, and we always had someone looking out for us. Our main sitter was
Chuck the Really Big Wrestler, who didn't like jocks, and had rejected frat
life to stay in the dorms. It was apparently his mission in life to watch
over the hippies so we didn't get hurt.

What bothers me about that period, compared to now, is that at this point in
my life, I have the time and resources to afford whatever amplification
equipment I want for my band. Even so, I can't find an amp that will produce
streams of color along with the sound, like the Grateful Dead's. I think the
stores are keeping some sort of secret from me. Maybe I haven't met the
right salesman yet.
