Which brings me to my topic for this article. Instead of starting to smoke again, I decided to have a big birthday party at our land in Colorado. The Shamanshack mystics, our panelists Dr Kara, Ash and Iliana, asked me if I wanted them to plan and execute the pa…","meta_description":"Chapter 1 - A Flat Tire in Heaven At the end of the very first day on the road, we had a destructive blowout of one trailer tire.
