The real Jim:
With Val Kilmer as Jim—this movie is my favorite by Kilmer—-as I told you a million times before I saw them live in Chicago:
Here’s the ticket—the pin was from the next year—also in November
Moretorium
I took part in the night march and took part in the singing—and a daytime march on Sat as well. We drove over night from Michigan—2 guys and 3 ladies and we stayed at a friend of one of those people we went with—-it was a time like no other wild and crazy and we had a cause—something I fear so many have lost — in the day of just being and never leaving the computer age.
As for the movie It was and is one of my favorites—-Morrison was totally self destructive, but in an age of craziness that we were living in I guess this was more the norm than we really realised at the time.

White Hart
The current White Hart is on Southwark St.

But the original one was located between #59 and 63 on this street
The White Hart, Southwark
An inn at the sign of the “White Hart” was established in the medieval period on Borough High Street in Southwark. It is mentioned by William Shakespeare in Henry VI, Part 2 as the headquarters of the rebels in Jack Cade‘s 1450 Kentish rebellion. Louis L’Amour mentions the Southwark White Hart in “Sackett’s Land”, an historical fiction taking place circa 1600. It became one of the many famous coaching inns in the days of Charles Dickens, and it was here that Sam Weller met Mr. Pickwick in the famous scene from The Pickwick Papers, chapter 10.[24] The Inn was pulled down in the 19th century. It was next door to The George Inn and near the site of The Tabard.
Also in Southwark, but approximately 0.5 km to the west, the White Hart at 22 Great Suffolk Street was built in 1882. It survived redevelopment of the surrounding area and is now the only Victorian public house on that street.

LiVING IN FLORIDA IS NEVER NORMAL
The Torreya Tree
On thr banks of the Apalachiocola River therr are tres which grow in no other part of the world. These rare botanical specis called thr Florifa Torreya, exist naturally in a range of only about w0 square miles of North Florida This curious tree, sometimes called the “gopherwood,” or “stinking cedar.” is scientifically known as Torreya Taxiolia. It is a member of the the conifer group and resembles a yew tree. The Torreya reahes a height of fifty feet, and has a trunk diameter of about 12″. It can be recognized by its shiny, dark green needles, whih are about an inch and a half long. While the tree would be expected to produce a seed cone, like other conifers, its fruit looks like a green plum. The fruit is fleshy and yields a milky sap that. when dry is sticky like glue. Though it is an attractive tree, it does give off a rather disagreeable odor, thus the name “stinking cedar.”
