I was twice offered employment at the Little Ale'Inn. Love those alien

is pretty much just a bar inside a cinder block shack in the middle of the
desert.

> As many of you will already know, I suspect, Rachel -- and hence the Alien
Inn, which is practically the only building in town -- is in the heart of
the so-called Extraterrestrial Highway, a road which passes very close to
the so-called Area 51. The Alien Inn is almost entirely packed with pro-NRA
material and alien paraphernalia: t-shirts, glow in the dark "greys,"
buttons, mugs, alien dummies, you name it. My "Area 51 Topless XXX and Who
Cares?!" T-shirt which was quite a hit in Tucson this year (and not nearly
as obscene as it sounds) was in fact purchased in the Alien Inn.

Nevada, I'm dead certain it would have been in the car park of the Alien
Inn." After all, they have been expecting it -- or something similar -- for
quite some time.

this photo with you all. It's a picture of me and a few friends, and was
taken by Matt inside the dreaded Alien Inn, during the spring of last year:
