I might be a dumb old bugger, but I've suddenly realized something important.
Although many people who've read my yarns were on this planet during the sixties; going by some of the comments and emails I've received over the years, I've been forced to come to the conclusion that not so many of the people who were alive at the time, actually "lived" or took full advantage of the opportunities that golden era bestowed upon us.
Or maybe they just missed-it because they'd "got high" instead! ;-)
