Wonder if it was an earth skimmer that made it back out into space?

I used to win bar bets downing shots of Ginger Brandy. Fireball ain’t got NOTHIN’ on that chit, LOL!

I’m very HAPPY it’s nearly time for Fireball; keeps me warm inside up here on The Frozen Tundra. Time to stock up before I’m snowed in. :)

Somewhere, the top is unscrewing from a cylinder as a tripod emerges from the ground a few miles away. They’ve been watching reruns of “I Love Lucy” for years, and they’re pissed!

I usually drink a little when I’m at Glamis Sand Dunes during the winter months. Other than that not very often.
