“They’re like, ‘Sir, there’s something in your bag.’
I said, ‘Yes, I think it’s this box.’
They said, ‘What’s in the box?’
I said, ‘a large gold medal,’ as one does.
So they opened it up and they said, ‘What’s it made out of?’
I said, ‘gold.’
And they’re like, ‘Uhhhh. Who gave this to you?’
‘The King of Sweden.’
‘Why did he give this to you?’
‘Because I helped discover the expansion rate of the universe was accelerating.’
At which point, they were beginning to lose their sense of humor. I explained to them it was a Nobel Prize, and their main question was, ‘Why were you in Fargo?’”
I forget how pretty Asheville’s downtown is. I like the picture in front of Salsas with the reflection of the cars in the windows.
We’ve been getting a lot of rain in Missoula, and unlike NC rainstorms the rain is so cold. And never any thunder, which is my favorite part.
Wow – Asheville doesn’t really ever look that good! Amazing artistry!!
