Another reason I love my home state...can't keep your mouth shut in court? Our judges will shut it for you...

I find this fascinating...can you begin to comprehend 7.6 billion miles? And I couldn't be the only one to have said "Vger" when I read the page. You know, the first curse word I ever heard was at the Taylor Movie Theater on Main street in Taylor, Texas. Kevin Caffey's mom has driven us the 30 minutes from Rockdale to go see the Disney cartoon up in the balcony...I think it was "Snow White"...we were 7 I think, maybe 9...and were willing to do anything NOT to see Snow White. So, we begged to see "Star Trek." Neva agreed (what a kewl name) and we went into the big theater...it was the two of us, three folks to the lower left and a couple 10 rows in front of us.

Right about the time Spock steals the "rocket space suit" thing and goes into his acid trip...the film breaks. The couple in front of us blurts out "oh...shit" I'll never forget Kevin's eyes...we thought we were doomed for sure. Wasn't too long after that, his Dad caught us singing along in the car to the J. Geils Band's "Piss on the Wall." I think we made it through one verse...
