OMG I finally made it! For five years, I’ve wanted a load that would
take me up US 95 in Nevada from Las Vegas to Reno so I could go to THIS truck
stop. Last week, I finally got one. (Thank you, Joey!)
I don’t know if I believe in the
existence of alien life. I don’t know if
I believe that aliens have landed on our planet and the government is denying
it. What I do believe in is the
possibility. For me, the idea of aliens
is fun to think and speculate about, but I don’t believe I will have definite
answers in my lifetime.
I’m a Trekkie. My two favorite Star Trek episodes are the
Next Generation episode where people from the 20th Century are found
cryogenically frozen and brought back to a state of consciousness where they
find out they’re hundreds of years in the future and having to adjust, and the
Next Generation movie, First Contact, where the crew goes back in time to when
the Vulcans first made contact with the inhabitants of Earth. (Told you I was a nerd!)
Star Trek and portrayed aliens as
mostly friendly, whereas most other movies portrayed aliens as aggressors. I like friendly aliens better.
A local resident was nice enough to
indulge me and take this picture. I
talked to him for a few minutes and he told me he does this for travelers all
the time. I was there less than an hour,
but I had a blast.
What do you think about aliens? Have they been here? Are they here now, walking among us and we
just don’t know it? Am I a loon?
