I am quite okay admitting have several, alien-related expectations about
this town. And it's not just related to a television show that I
can't see because the boy is too damn cheap to have any sort of cable
TV in the house. I'd also heard stories about desert abductions,
and was sort of hoping the boy would get sucked into thin air and I could
have three seconds of peace and quiet.
Is the tales of this town due to lack of
oxygen? At this elevation, it's not likely.
50,000 people is pretty impressive.
But historically significant? I'd argue that point.
It took a few minutes, but before you knew
it we were in the Alien District.
Both inviting and eerie, all at once...
Is is really a museum, or just a clever
way of attracting tourist dollars to the town? Hmmm...
Wal-Mart found a clever use for an old
trampoline and some green and yellow paint.
And extending the Wal-Mart marketing campaign,
someone got to decorate the windows.
But most creepy of all is the overly happy
faces on the recycling bins.
As promised, a place to buy used fire trucks.
