Sorry, didn't mean to make a sad. Just paying tribute to a man more people should have heard of. I was thinking of him and he's been gone a few years now.

That was awesome and I didn't know about him. Screw Steve Miller, this guy deserves the credit. Great story. Thanks for sharing that shnkrmn.

Whew!
I knew he'd died back in '05, so was thinking "Trippy Cat" was a close feline friend who'd went on to that Great Catnip Field In The Sky.

Other than THAT:

I liked his version of the song even better than Steve-o's rendition (though I love that one, too).
I think some of S.M.'s new live versions are much closer to Pena's original version.

Nice buds bud. They look delish. I really like the looks of that grapefruit diesel.

Shnk. I have too many cats, lol. I thought you had a cat named 'Trippy Cat' and the little one passed on. Had never heard of Paul Pena, or Cape Verde before today. Thanks for the education of sorts.

EDIT: Damn doob. When I started writing this post you hadn't posted. Then I took to long and you stole my thoughts. It's almost like a screen capture, but with my mind.

Nice looking buds!
And great manicure job, too!
Mine are sloppy as.
I just pull the tiny sugar leaves out before smoking and stash them is a mason jar for kief stock or iso.
That G.D. looks almost like a freshly chopped x-mas tree.

Weird dots to connect, but when I looked at the location of Cape Verde it reminded me of a book I listened to (audio books rock!!!) about a Blind traveler names James Holman. He was quite a story and basically circled the globe in the early 1800's catching rides all over the place. Quite a story in deed. He traveled to an island off Equatorial Guinea and did some wild stuff there. The islands both being off the west coast of Africa made me think of it. Then I went back to read about Paul Pena and he too lost his eyesight completely at 20. Holman went completely blind by 25.

Huh.

I meant to mention this before but I thought they should have called that sand flea a springtail. Also, didn't mean disrespect to Steve Miller, just thought the original was better and got over excited. Keep on a rockin me baby!

Dude was fucking dedicated. How about this bit from the wiki article on Paul Pena:

Pena also taught himself Tuvan. There were no Tuvan to English translation dictionaries, so Pena used two dictionaries: Tuvan to Russian and Russian to English. He used a device called an Optacon to scan the pages and convert the printed words into tactile sensations he could read with his finger.

Holy Shit!

Yeah, I read that too. My daughter was sitting here too and one of the subjects she's considering for university is Russian and Eastern European studies so she found that pretty cool too.
