Thank you. I'll show this to my wife. (But she'll probably ask about dumb)

I worked at the NASA Manned Spacecraft Center for a bit over a year on the installation and debugging team of the Apollo Mission Simulator and had many conversations with various astronauts and most expected to find examples of alien presence there.
I guess it may who you were speaking with. In my case I've had some interesting (and multiple) conversations with four moonwalkers and three CMP's and none of them expressed finding/seeing anything alien. (Other than Smilin' Al telling me they brought back a skeleton of a "luna tick" which they kept hush-hush. He was a riot when he was in a good mood)
As for the craters.. (Someone sent me this a while back and sorry I couldn't resist)
Uh, my guess would be not a company but my old boss before I retired. (Putting it politely, she had the G-2 of a cantaloupe)
Considering they were formed in a tavern, they certainly 'done good' in our nations later bar fights. Semper Fi.

Back in the 70's spent part of an evening chatting with him in a bar in upstate New York. (Apparently, he was a fan of the bar and whenever he was in town he'd make a visit) Great guy.

I worked as a doctor in primary care at a large HMO for 27 years. I won't say which one. The doctors there have absolutely no control over how many patients they have to care for or how to schedule them.
I got lucky in one clinic. I worked a day and a half in a diabetic ulcer clinic in podiatry (before he and I both retired). The doc had to jump through the burning hoops of Hades but finally got them to let him book those patients himself in the computer and then have the patients so to scheduling and get their "official" appointment that had been reserved. If he had to overbook then he could look to see who was on the schedule that wouldn't take the whole time slot and put them there and we were rarely more than 10 minutes off. Of course things would go south with a new patient but on the whole we had a pretty good record of getting them in, photographing, debridement, re-shoot, applying growth tissue, wrapping and making necessary adjustments to the orthotics, booking the follow up and getting them out the door in 30 minutes. (I had to wear many hats during this time)
It worked well for about 6 years.
Nice guy and a darn good photographer capturing Ed White during the first US EVA on Gemini IV. (NASA Photos)

Nope, just the round, dark area is the "Tar Heel."

I use to live close to there (WV side) it was always a fun visit. I tried to get a summer job as a ranger there one year but alas, I "think" they have had some height or eye color requirement because I didn't get the job.
(Ended up working at the YMCA (Maryland side) The area really took a hit in '72 when Hurricane Agnes came through.
Thanks for the nostalgic trip. Did you make the treck to Jefferson Rock?
Looks like #3 has done a lil scrappin' in his life.
I worked with one of the researchers involved with the first round of shingles vaccine and I got the shot. When they came out with the "new and improved" version we we're in ground floor area during a tornado alert and to (ahem) *liven* things up a bit with him (we actually weren't too concerned) I asked him what was the story on the "new" version. I implied everyone wanted a new car or a hot tub so they had to come up with something new. He laughed and said this one was much better but that I "may" experience a little soreness and sluggishness. I'm not fond of doctors term "may." Yup, I was sore and with the second shot I was a little sore and (ahem) "sluggish" for about a day. But after photographing a number of folks in the dermatology clinic that had shingles and seeing what they were dealing with, I knew my little issues were totally worth it. Bottom line if you had the chicken pox get the shot.

Apologize where in court??
He was probably referring to the one Poindexter in the group that, didn't want to be in the picture, did, but didn't like the picture because they blinked, we're talking etc. or both.
But this one time at band camp...
That Bug driver sure was playing the stall speed game.
