BLOWN-IN-THE-GLASS

0 Hi friends, 02br
00I would like someone explain to me this expression here:02br
02br
00'Tour masters, schedules, reservations, brass-bound and inevitable, dash themseves to wreckage on the personality of the trip. Only when this is recognized can the BLOWN-IN-THE-GLASS bum relax and go along with it.'02br
02br
00Thanks in advance, and Merry X, Jo. 0-
