You are getting sleepy... When I snap my fingers, you'll want to listen to the newest PWAA episode. *Snap!* CA continues to try to get to the bottom of hypnotism and we can't do that without talking about the Mesmerizing Franz Mesmer. This story has everything! Vital fluid, animal magnetism, bathtubs, Ben Franklin, the Queen of England, and scandal. The one thing it doesn't have: cannibalism. Allison has us covered though, through a story of manifest destiny gone very wrong. We don't know why they call it the Donner party, it doesn't seem like much fun.
