July/August 2015 cont.
After the conclusion of the Battle of Ann Bailey Mountain (which I heard inspired that terrible sequel Independence Day: Resurgence which was released the following year) we raced over to the Green Bank Observatory. They’ve got the largest radio telescope in the world there, so we figured they’d be the best ones to help us get the word out to the world that the INVASION WAS IMMINENT!!!
Unfortunately for us the Sri Lankans had already warned them about us and they told us to go pound sand.
Since we couldn’t use their big telescope thingy we tried to hijack the smaller death ray out in the parking lot. The boys tried to hotwire the thing so they could aim it back over at the Ann Bailey mountain side to smoke any surviving space monsters.
The rent-a-cop security guard didn’t like this idea, and proceeded to ask us to leave. Holy Crap! It was Smokey. Must have been demoted down to Mall Cop after teaming up with the Sri Lankans. Before my boys aimed the death ray at Officer Friendly over there I dragged off the battle-hardened Halflings. Time to load up the minivan and leave the mountains before they started an intergalactic war.
Another trip in the minivan, another ridiculous escapade in the everyday. Time to get back home and back to work on the Jeep.
