[at-l] Terrapin On The Move (Way Off Topic)

[rafeb@adelphia.net (rafeb@adelphia.net)]

The terrapin household is being moved from one 'burb 
of Boston to another.  The place is stacked high with boxes.
Days are spent packing and sorting through the rubble.
I just ran across a bit of memorabilia that's not exactly 
Trail related (except Item #1) but which demonstrates 
a peculiar sort of fanatical mindset that thru hikers may 
be familiar with.  Without further ado...

Ten Signs that you're a Deadhead:

10 None of your tapes have names, just dates.
9.  The compass in your car is calibrated so that it 
always points to the Oakland Coliseum.
8. You have more tie-dyes than neck ties.
7. You find it amazing that some people fill balloons 
with air.
6. You spend New Year's eve with your tape deck, 
not your wife.
5. You can't leave the house without wondering where 
the tickets are.
4. Left unoccupied, your hand instinctively taps the 
beat of Not Fade Away.
3. You're still waiting for that 2nd verse of Dark Star 
that they started back in May of 1973.
2. You try to claim gas to and from dead shows as an 
income tax deduction.
1. Lately it's occurred to you what a Long Strange Trip 
it's Been.
