Ahh, Moss Eisely Spaceport... I remember it well.
Stayed there for awhile after I made the Kessel Run (in less than 12 parsecs)...
Well Dammit why did you bring Michelle back with you?!?!?!??
Could have left her there but nooooo..... You can fly that ship alone you know.
MTV got into the business of creating reality--or at least a perception thereof. When it first came on I recall grainy videos of fisheye views of noses and microphones and asked my girlfriend what was the point of watching that? Some of the later videos have merit, granted, but initially I think it was the novelty.
It didn't take long (imho) for VeeJays to get self-important on the tube, and that was enough for me. Then rap, then reality shows about the cultural destruction...and ever the hard leftist slant on everything.

The rain situation here has been the opposite. It is dry as a bone. No doubt this is the worst drought we have had since 2007-8! My garden didn’t do very well, even though I watered it.
We’re coming off a nasty drought, actually have had a bunch of rain.
