I find the whole thing strange. Castor oil is usually cold-pressed from castor beans, it's the hull that contains ricin. It can be refined/purified into weapons grade warfare agent particles. This isn't something you buy from Amazon. So where does one get this chemical? I'm only asking for a friend!
Seriously, if it's so deadly, the person making the letters is also at risk. duh...
I think it's super rare that any president would come in contact with their mail. It's handled by staff. No antidote... so is it fast reacting? If so, mail room staff would start dropping like bugs and it would be a matter of minutes for detection. Slow reacting, it would be hours later when they are transported to ER with some unknown illness.
If I recall, Hendrix was booked to open for The Monkees on a 28 city tour. His music didn't agree with the pre-teenage audience who went to see The Monkees and he dropped off the tour after 8 dates. Obviously, loud psychedelic rock wasn't what their ears wanted to hear. While the Monkees gigs turned out to be a failure for Hendrix, his exposure was enough to gain recognition that was ultimately beneficial to his career.
The Miami Pop Festival where Hendrix headlined the event. I was a musician and my band had a gig the first day so we didn't get to see him. Our plans were to see him on the second day. We made it to the festival and the weather wasn't very good. Several bands performed mid-day in between sprinkles, but the afternoon brought heavy showers and the concert got rained out.
That would have been my only opportunity to see Hendrix live and I lost out due to the weather.
Possible. When I had the Mini Cooper rental for 3 weeks, 2 keyfobs were attached with a wire clip that would need a wire cutter to separate. That was in one pocket and my keys in the other. I'd prefer to keep them together... just in case I lock myself out of the house. Yeah, I could keep a spare set of house keys in the car!
I met a Spanish woman who's name Nohemi was pronounced 'nay-yo-me' (and not no-he-me) For Naomi, some spell it as it sounds but some pronounce it 'nye-o-me'
Lyrics in Zeppelin's Since I've Been Loving You: "I open my front door, I hear my back door slam, You know, I must have one of them new fangled, new fangled back-door man"
Fifty cent pies...
It's the individual servings with the 3" pies that makes it attractive.Cutting up a 9" pie and bagging the slices for lunch becomes impractical.
