Swiss chemist Albert Hofmann, who in 1943 accidentally discovered the hallucinogenic effects of Lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), has died at the age of 102, Reuters reports.
102 years old...proving that old adage; 'Better Living Through Chemistry'. Good night Dr. Hoffman you have enriched all our lives.

April 30 is Walpurgis Nacht; Night of the Witches which corresponds to Samhain; Halloween, October 31 as both days herald a major year changing festival.Walpurgis heralds May Day, Samhain heralds All Saints Day.
They are opposite ends of the season. One is spring planting and the other is fall harvest.
And of course April 30 is the time the devil asks for his due; (from my blog post last year.)
Thanks to everyone who commented here and sent emails inquiring as to my absence from blogging.
I took an unannounced break considering I have been blogging almost daily here for four years.
But I appreciate the concerns, my health is fine thanks. Just took a needed break. I do that occasionally.
What began as a week off ended up being a month off line.
Anyways I will be back to blogging on a regular basis again as we approach May Day.
