We visited the local science center. It’s a lot smaller than the blockbuster science centers found in larger cities, but they did a nice job with the space they have. We especially enjoyed a video of the mission that collected samples of an asteroid and safely returned them to Earth. The entire 20-year mission was lead by the University of Arizona. The mission isn’t over. Scientists will try to do a fly-by of another asteroid. Several school groups were visiting the science center while we were there. The biggest impact on is us was that the planetarium shows weren’t available to the general public, so I didn’t get my science center nap.

Our other activity was in the evening. We saw Cronan the Barbarian at the Gaslight Theater. This wasn’t typical theater. The audience was encouraged to cheer the good guys, boo the bad guys, sing along, and say Arrrg with the pirates. Jokes were really bad, and spirits were high. Food was available for those who wanted it. Everybody got a large bag of popcorn. Free ice cream was given to folks with a birthday, anniversary, or from out of state. It was a riot of fun.

I hope this finds everybody doing well.
