I’m gathering stuff for tomorrow. A few fun things too!
I’ve enjoyed The “When Andy Weighed In” thread. Some wonderful observations, and wow… some are just dripping with sarcasm! Sarcasm is an art form! It makes me realize how much I’ve really enjoyed all of you! It’s almost a full year of the drex files now, and man, there is just a giant well of stuff for us lovers to wade into. It feels great. Orbit one!
Be here tomorrow, ’cause the drex files bathysphere just came up from about 9000 feet, and daddy-o, there is some bonafide rarefied coolness!

Ahahaha, that’s just awesomeness, Doug! What a great shot!
Look forward to more drexy-goodness a’comin’!

Save the fair maiden from a terrible plight! Aaaarrghhh!!
And a fun time has been had by all, dug (I mean Master Drexler)! I was just hoping that the “Andy” thread doesn’t discourage you from posting more “New Trek” related material because of the ever present passion on both sides of the line.
But I’ve enjoyed it and ALL of the fun comments this week, as always!

P.S. The sun’ll come out tomorrow…for another rollicking, informative day at the ‘Files. See ya there.
Sure that’s not Cabazon instead of Palm Desert?
Fun times!
A little Land of the Lost action
That looks very Frank Frazetta-ish except you guys are wearing too many clothes!
Daniel! That’s just what I was thinking when we took the shot! Frank and Ellie used to pose for Frank’s work all the time. I guess this is sort of an homage to that couple!

Very nice homage! I see the rippling muscles and raw passion from both of you.
Hey, that right. That’a great observation, Daniel! Wasn’t there even IIRC a coupla paintings FF did with a T-Rex…?
Sure enough…

It’s comming right for us!
Haha, I remember seeing that old dino in lots of movies. The last time I seem to remember it was in that Gamer movie with Ben Savage.
Thank goodness there is a chain link fence to stop the beast.
Fun stuff.
Oh, is that the problem they had in Jurassic Park? No chain link, just all the fussy gadgets and concrete!
You know, I still wonder how the T-Rex managed to step over that cliff so easily.
You’re talking about Mr. Drexler right?
I kid I kid. Must be all the halloween candy, it makes me loopy.
Hey, mudshark — you are correct, sir! It’s Cabazon, on the road to Palm Springs.

We also took the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway that day:

Felt like some weird Where Eagles Dare/Sound of Music mutation! Fun!
I thought he looked familiar — that’s just a few miles down the road from where I am. What did you think of the tramway? I haven’t been on it for years but I remember the views being pretty spectacular.
Congrats on almost one full spin around the sun!
Best damn Trek site on the intertubes.
Thank God you both survived! Especially Dorth! If she’d been eaten that day, so many delicious meals would have gone uncooked!
Can’t wait for more Doug. Bring it on.
Too bad it wasn’t at Vasquez Rocks where coal and sulfur is lying around. It would have increased your chances.
Someone got all the diamonds
I wonder what phaser setting that T-Rex could take…..
Cheers

Is this the same dinosaur park featured in “Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure?” If so, I heard it was recently turned into a kind of creationist museum.
Leapin’ thunder lizards! Hahaha! That’s a fantastic shot!
Ultra-fun shot! A great way to turn just-another-tourist-photo into something much more memorable and creative!

For some reason I keep thinking about that old Ringo Starr movie Caveman.
They just need fur togas and an old blind guy!
Too funny =)
