"You mean to tell me these are dah-nah-sahrs?"

"Yes, those are dinosaurs."

"So DAH-nuh-sahrs used to live in Adelanto?"

"Yes, Huell. They used to cook meth in these very houses."

"Waaayow."

OK, I watched it! It was cool. Some good views, and there was a lot I didn't know about the observatory. Even though I glaze over at astronomy, I do like history. It's pretty amazing how they got the equipment up there, and how they've kept it running.

Waaayow indeed!

And as Huell put it, "Some big things happened right here!"

I watched it too. Learned a couple of things.

But what an über-goober

Is it still hip to be square? I guess if you have to ask...
