I am back. Thank you all for your patience. I apologize for being gone for so long. The first part of the week, with visits to two observatories, and observing to late into the night, we were completely sleep deprived. More on this later. On the first day's trip to Mount Graham to see the observatory there, we were driving East on I-10 when we started seeing signs that in 50 miles we could see "The Thing." Naturally we were curious, and so we stopped at the gas station, trinket shop, and one of the strangest "museums" I have ever seen! Dean said that it was worth seeing, so we each payed a dollar to see the attraction. "The Thing" was under heavy, scratched glass and couldn't be photographed. But there were so many other things on display. I have no idea what the first photograph represents, with this mannequin displayed in this strange collection of furniture. The next photograph shows Stan taking a photograph of another part of the display, with the yellow footprints sneaking up on him. And lastly, this is me, obviously terrified, at the entrance of the museum. Just your normal roadside attraction!
Welcome back. You make me smile. Enjoy your road trips and observatories.
