My wife tortures me good naturedly for driving her out to Meteor Crater.
She jokingly says it was just a big hole in the ground, just to get a rise out of me to defend it!
I did find it really interesting!
“I did find it really interesting!”

You and me both! I drove cross country with my parents when they moved from Long Island, NY to Santa Barbara in 1974.
We stopped at the Meteor Crater in Arizona, and my parents stayed in the car while I went exploring.
I thought the Meteor Crater was cooler than cool!
Just one problem....my father was sitting in the car, counting out all the cash for the remainder of the trip. It was rather warm and windy, and he had the door open on the driver side of the front seat.
I was excited and in a hurry to see the crater, so just as my father yelled “Don’t open the door!”, I opened the door on the passenger side of the front seat.
The wind blew through the car, blowing the pile of cash for the remainder of the trip out of the car and into the parking lot.
Before I got to go into the visitor’s center and see the crater, I had to run through the parking lot and gather up all the money which was strewn everywhere, and I did just that.
Our family was going through the area and we thought it would be good to see it. But, when we got there, we decided it was too expensive for what it actually was, so we passed it up.
I really wanted to see it, too. I’m just such a skin flint.
