Harappans and the "Lovely Fog"

Harappans and the “Lovely Fog”

Greetings beauteous readers. We were discussing hedonism, something most Harappans and Kushans embrace. Even if we don’t accept it as a philosophy for ourselves we understand the concept and support it in our friends and family.

Earthers often ask me if we have to deal with a lot of abuse. I answer “Not really.”

Before “The Arrival” we only had a few simple intoxicants. We drank several types of alcohol, wine and Oodo mostly and some beer and whiskey. And, we smoked the weeds.

We did not have some of the chemical intoxicants like Pax, meth, crack and such. Still don’t have them in our society. If I can grow it in my garden and prepare it myself I can probably handle it. If I need a chemistry set to make the stuff then I stay away.

I know there is some Pax on Kusha. Some of the SID folks use it. I don’t know any Harappans who do. It makes people mean.

Is the Mother a hedonist? Not really. I’ve seen her drink wine occasionally and maybe a few beers but I’ve never seen her smoke anything. I think she always has too much on her mind.

My friend Dorian Thain is definitely a hedonist. He smokes more than I do and maybe drinks a little less. He would want you to know that he is a thoughtful hedonist. He doesn’t just drink to get stupid. For him imbibing is an intellectual exercise. When his day is done he separates himself from his leadership persona and looks at things differently. He says he doesn’t work on drugs but I know some of his best ideas came from the “lovely fog”.

Never mix red wine with Oodo.
