In a letter to Cohen, written between 1956 and 1961, he reported hearing gossip about his LSD use in AA circles. He reminded Cohen about "the desirability" of omitting his name "when discussing LSD with AAs". Cohen reassured Wilson that his LSD trials did not include other active AA members.

An AA battery (energy-storage device).

Whether your camera takes AAs or a unique, proprietary battery, you should always have a spare. […] You will not be able to walk into a local supermarket and buy a new one as you can with AAs.

Alas, I fear, Netflix will soon break my heart. And it's an American icon that is warning me: American Airlines (AA). ¶ You see, middlemen are dying.
