Currently building log home on mountain side with observing area and planetarium - really!
Congratulations on the unveiling of your renovated facility. I just read the article on the Times News website. It sounds like you will be busy with new shows. There have been a number of planetarium closings in recent months so it's great to see new renovations!
I like the fact that your park does both nature and astronomy. That's what we do also at the MSU Moorhead Regional Science Center, except our natural history site is 15 miles out of town and our planetarium is on campus.
hmmm... maybe the other side is a dharma initiative "observing station," or it could be a tholian trick. If its dharma, the "LOST" people owe Roddenberry royalties! Now that I think of it, the LOST guy, J. J. Abrams is the writer for the upcoming Star Trek movie... I smell a vast conspiracy...
Greetings and welcome to you, sir! May the wonders of the most ancient electrons flow about you and the knowledge of the internets pervade your very essence!
I've been looking around for your red-suited friend, but have had no luck finding him... perhaps I've been overdrawn at the memory bank or something... I don't recall him.
Hey Adam! Welcome to the club! How's Kingsport? And planetarium renovations? And star fest? Sorry I didn't make it to that... My appendix made the decision for me.
Your log home sounds cool! We have a log home, too, although a small one. No good observing area or planetarium, but we converted the outbuilding into a dance studio...
