Well, I will relate a spontaneous conversation I had in the grocery store a couple of weeks after I arrived here: Stranger in grocery line: "Y'know, they got `em in freezers." Me: "Uh, who have 'they' got in freezers?" S: "On the base, they got `em in freezers." Me: "What?" S: "The aliens. In freezers. On the base." Me: "I thought the base had been decommissioned in 1966, and all the buildings are leased to commercial firms." S: [leaning toward me confidentially] "The freezers are _underground_!" Sort of says that, even here, there is a fringe element. <smile> The city has hyped it, for the sake of tourism (good thing, too, since manufacturing is fleeing the place like cockroaches in the light). There are true believers, but most are skeptical. Me, no, I haven't seen one (unless one counts the F-117As flying over my house on night training missions). Would I like to see one? Sure. And I'd invite them in for a Corona and fajitas, just to be sociable... and to pick their brains for motive power secrets--the Triumph needs a tune-up. And, Fred Thomas sez: > Bradley, after as long as you've been on the list you ask now, Michael came > off one of those UFO's driving his LBC. "FT" Actually, no, Fred, I didn't. But, I came in the closest thing to a UFO I could manage... a `68 VW camper with a 1756cc twin-cam Lancia engine installed, right down to 40DCOE Webers, hand-made tuned headers, and ported, polished and cc'ed head. The Triumphs were delivered later, by express... from [woooohhooooaaaahhoooo] the TR-Zone. <smile> Cheers. -- Michael D.
