3. Fine Tuning
by Milton T. Burton
He looked perplexed. I slipped my hand beneath my coat, came out with the

What a Long Strange Trip It’s Been . . .
From Dr. Pauly McGuire’s Laptop:
The September edition of Truckin’ marks the return of the Human Head after
a four year hiatus. I’m enthralled to have him back in the mix. Everyone’s
favorite Norwegian word wanker, Sigge, returns for a second month in a
row. We also have a couple of Texan scribes in Johnny Hughes and Milton T.
Burton. And of course, I have a story inspired by a recent trip to Colorado.
Thanks for telling your friends about Truckin’. May you will increase your
karma ten fold! The contibutors here write for free and you’ll be doing me
a huge favor by helping get the some publicity.
If anyone is interested in being added to the mailing list, or perhaps you
are interested in writing for a future issue, then feel free to contact me.
I have to sincerely thank the writers for sharing their bloodwork. Thanks
for taking this leap of faith with me. And a special thanks goes out to
you, the reader, for your loyalty and support over the years.
Be good,
McG
