I went to Socorro today and got my thorn proof tubes. It was pretty amazing watching the miles fly by in the car. Maybe more impressive was just pushing the accelerator a little harder to go up the hills. Ahhh the internal combustion engine... I was planning on heading out after I changed the tubes, but it was about 3:00 and I didn't think it was worth it. Plus the toaster house was just too cool to leave. The only thing that wasn't so cool was the rooster's crowing at 4:30 in the morning. Grrrr. So I cracked open a book and listened to the Beatles, The Doors, The Eagles, The Rolling Stones, and other hippie music. The photos I posted are of the VLA that the movie Contact used as a backdrop. I drove by them on the way to Socorro. It is not to be confused with the VLBA which I mentioned a few posts ago.
