  1. Well, the next line in the rhyme is "One flew over the cukoo's nest". This is also the title of Ken Kesey's classic novel that used a psych ward as a microcosm of our cultureal ills. Kesey was a acid-head, a Dead Head ( the Warlocks then), and a counter-culture icon who advocated hallucinogenic trascendence from conformity. This leads to many fascinating places, and maybe Magdalena, but I don't know how.

  2. The nursery rhyme quote is older than Kesey, as is the coming tale, though they are all about flight. Maybe it should say: "One flew east, and one flew NORTH", even if it doesn't rhyme.

    (And both roads lead to fascinating places, but the Magdalena connection is later and a bit random).
