…jected or ingested substances prohibited by law. One reason I have avoided drugs is that many of them cause users to lose their inhibitions. I like my inhibitions. The ones I have are just barely sufficient to keep me from saying and doing utterly ridiculous, embarrassing and dangerous things, and only much, but not all, of the time. Another reason is that drugs alter oneʼs perception of reality. As it is, I feel my grip on reality is tenuous at b…

…for the benefit of future generations. Some fruits of her research are now FDA-approved and available globally. So Lou had put us in touch with Dr. Sallon, and she said that as long as we were going to Eilat, we must see Dr. Solowey’s work. And seeing her life-long efforts to make the desert productive, for the benefit of all humanity, made the whole journey worthwhile.
