reflected glow of the light from the almost full moon.

Hawaiian Tropic better ship some "Moonscreen 15 MPF" to these loonies or they'll get severely moonburned......

“Wouldn’t it be a scream if it turned out moonlight causes cancer?”

Only in places where the sun don’t shine.

the way to remove warts was to rub them with a smooth stone

No, for me it was rubbing the white crap from milkweeds on them..........Evidently it works because I don't have any warts.

There ain't no warts on me,

there ain't no warts on me,

There might be warts on some of you farts but there ain't no warts on me.......

Wikipedia has an entry for it. Says it's a "Census Designated Place" or CDP, although Google Maps puts the named coordinates next to Robles Junction, just southwest of Tucson along route 86.

Three points is west on the Ajo highway. It is before you get to Kitt Peak and consists of only a couple of houses and a store. At least it did when I lived in Tucson nearly 20 years ago.

They should play Golden Earring’s “Moontan” album as you bathe in the moonlight. . .

Moonbats in their element

Maybe they are going there to form Mating Clusters like those foam frogs do.

Think of all the future Democrats.

A few unrelated bits from Tucson and vicinity:

1) If you enjoy astronomy, I highly recommend a visit to Kitt Peak National Observatory, about 40 miles West of Tucson, a mountain with a bunch of telescopes on it, including a rarity, a triangle shaped solar telescope. They have tours that both adults and kids like.

2) In Tucson proper, at the University of Arizona, is the Flandrau Planetarium, which generally has a good program of entertaining astronomical shows, and is worth a visit. Astronomy is very big in southern Arizona.

3) South of Tucson is the San Xavier del Bac Mission, a 400 year old Spanish Mission still used by the Yacqui Indians as a church and parochial School. The most photographed building in Arizona.

4) Nearby to that is the Titan II Missile Museum, built in homage to the 5-story tall nuclear missiles that used to be stationed there. You can tour the underground command and control center, and it has a full sized dummy missile in one of the silos.

5) Other stuff to see in the area include the Biosphere 2 dome in Oracle, the Karchner Caverns and Colossal Cave, Old Tucson Movie Studios where they filmed a lot of western movies and TV shows, and the Sonora Desert Museum, a combination zoo, botanical garden and mineralogical museum.

6) The border town of Nogales is due South of Tucson, but soon you will need a passport to visit it.

"It feels magnetic"

I mourn for the state of General Science Education.

The Nation is lost.

Divide the collective IQ by two one more time and we will all be Muslim.

The first step in worshiping the Moon!

I thought they had to be nude to get the full effect.:)

Ah yes, but even the aged hippies REALLY want to see each other running around skyclad.

There comes a point when you can no longer deny the horrific ravages of gravity.

I have that album. Not bad but also not very relaxing.

If someone is going to pay ten bucks to bathe in moonlight they should choose music which is more ethereal.

You could also visit me in Vail about 15 miles SE of Tucson...oh wait. There is nothing to do at my place. I don’t even have a TV hooked up.

Anyone for a good book?

I'm just worried it will cause intensely bad poetry at magnitudes of awfulness never before imagined...

I wonder if they know where the term “lunatic” came from.
