Hunter S. ThompsonThe scene I had just witnessed (a couple making love in the ocean) brought back a lot of memories โ not of things I had done but of things I had failed to do, wasted hours and frustrated moments and opportunities forever lost because time had eaten so much of my life and I would never get it back.

No, this is not a good town for psychedelic drugs.
