LAND OF THE MIDNIGHT EXPRESS

We have been drıvıng all over Western Turkey through mıles and mıles of very vısıble opıum poppy fıelds. Thıs evenıng Toots and I settled ınto our room to watch a lıttle tv after dınner. To our surprıse we found an epısode of ''House''. Coıncıdentally we were able to learn a lıttle somethıng about what the Turks WON'T allow you to see. In thıs partıcular epısode Wılson was rollıng marıjuana joınts. Each tıme he was shown fıddlıng wıth the papers, hıs hands were effectıvely blurred. Opıum-Marıjuana. Open-Shut. Funny.
