Now, it never happened again or since. But it happened that one time. And so it was a great experience. The next day, it was LSD. And the LSD, I took a strong dose of it. And...

It was, you know, had the same impact the other two did. And, you know, I didn't have any hallucinations on that. But I sure had a righteous buzz and was happy to talk and felt good about things. And when it was all said and done, my wife noticed it first. She said, you're different. You're easier to talk to. You're easier to get along with. You don't have that temper.

Well, brother, I had an edge about me that I didn't like. And I would lose my temper. And I just would hate myself for it. You know, because there was no reason. It's always something stupid, you know. And so, I mean, it was always under a quest. I knew that, you know, at first, you know, I had a battle with some depression. I had fought... fought this hard temper that I had.

And I just never liked being around people. I liked being alone, you know? And that's not a good thing. At least if you can overcome why you're like that. You know, it was terrible for me when days like the... like the days the trees fell. And that was an experience I had in Vietnam. And I would always go back there on the 4th of July.

And I would do whatever I could to avoid fireworks, to stay away from that sort of thing. But it's stuff like that. You know, my wife is my third wife. I mean, I've been given my walking papers twice, and it's never a pleasant time. And I knew that the women that I married both times were good women. I mean, there wasn't nothing wrong with them. But the problem was me.

What do you mean the day the trees fell? Okay, I'll tell you about the day the trees fell. We set up for ambush one night in a graveyard in Vietnam. And we saw Vietnamese are buried sitting up, at least most of them are that I'm aware of. And so... We had a squad, a couple of cliques right of us, a couple of cliques left of us.
