| UFO |
Reason number one. UFO. As in Unidentified Flying Object. We enjoyed a hill walk with the Club through an area that was new to us; mixed woodland and open fields. Then, in the middle of nowhere, we happened upon an interpretive sign (see photo). The sign described the 1979 sighting of a UFO at that very spot, "but as he did so two smaller spheres dropped from the main sphere and started rolling towards him." An investigation concluded that "all the evidence pointed to seeing something not of this Earth." Don't stumble upon that sort of thing every day.
Reason number two. It was Mike's birthday; the kind with a zero in it. Whoo. Big deal. That is why he recently trekked to 17,600 feet to Everest Base Camp, to mark the occasion. That is why he just ate mostly all of a chocolate birthday cake. Happy birthday.
