Restricted Area 51
No, I didn't go there - yet. I took a picture of a picture taken by someone who has been there. This was one of my favorite pictures housed in the museum we went to (as discussed in the previous post). Area 51 has always been fascinating to me. Perhaps one day I'll take my own pictures there.
Why are they still hiding everything that goes there from the American people?? No other "protected area" is more protected. Yeah perhaps the White House, North Korea.....
Still have there ever been any reports of "lethal force" being taken on anyone trying to enter the area? Has there ever been a mass effort?
This site that I've found has some pretty good information for Area 51 enthusiasts. I'll be posting more later.

I'm Back!
...from a 3-day trip to Lubbock. Daughter had a second audition for the College of Music at Texas Tech. This trip also included a drive over to Roswell, NM, hence the banner image. Roswell is actually a fun little place, unless you are a serious skeptic to all the hype surrounding its history. The town really banks on its tourism, as there are little aliens literally all over place. Fake ones, of course, but there's probably a real one or two too.
The UFO Museum & Research Center was actually very impressive - especially for an enthusiast such as me. For only $5 you get an incredible amount of information.
Posts will resume back to normal later today!
NBA Dunk Contest Rant
Via
Is anyone else getting tired of these dunk contest participants having multiple tries to complete borderline asinine dunks? Get rid of the 2:00 clock. Give them 1 chance. You don't make it - too bad! OK maybe give them two tries.
What peeves me about this year's, which is almost over as we speak, is not only did several contestants take the whole two minutes, but McGee actually received a 50 for the two-basket dunk on about his 6th try!
And the props are getting ridiculous. Take a look at the highlights, and watch DeMar DeRozan's second dunk of the first-round dunk a few minutes ago. I think it scored a 50, and it was worth every point. Simple, sweet, complex, first try...
And Blake Griffin's in-game throw-down dunk from above the rim was better than all these in this contest.
UPDATE: I found a highlight video, and have posted it below. DeMar DeRozan's 2nd dunk, which received a 50, begins at 1:19. Notice he never touches the ball with his left hand at all.
