Texas

NASA is the National Aeronautics and Space Administration in Houston, Texas.

NASA scientists recently sent pictures of naked humans into space. I am not too keen on enticing aliens; if they would be enticed. The scientists say they want to “start a conversation” with aliens no matter how far off into the future.

Even if the aliens are short, dour, and sexually obsessed—if they’re here, I want to know about them.

Astronomer Carl Sagan

Speak for yourself, Mr. Sagan. I, for one, would not like to be followed around by a short, dour, sexually obsessed alien.

Can you see the lust in that alien’s eyes?

NASA is fun to visit.

I still hear your sea waves crashing
While I watch the cannons flashing
I clean my gun
And dream of Galveston

Written by Jimmy Webb and sung by Glen Campbell 1969

Galveston is a Vietnam War-era song. It’s about a guy who gets sent to Vietnam and thinks about his girl back home. It’s a simple song but incredibly catchy.

When I saw the sea waves crashing in Galveston, I was confused. I thought that the whole Gulf of Mexico had beaches like we have in the Florida Panhandle, but it doesn’t.

In fact, I felt like I was standing on the Atlantic coast. The water was dark. The waves were huge and grim. This sea was uninviting, unlike the Emerald Coast with its white sandy beaches and warm, turquoise water.
