Funny and cool! I especially liked "... or we'll lose our deposit." Brilliant!

A delight from start to finish, James Ron. What an imagination you have!

"We just want to party and see the sights." ha ha ha

"It's part of our software that’s on the fritz. It thinks and does everything for us. Except when it doesn’t.” sounds familiar....

I loved the light-hearted tourist demeanor of these travelers, even when their defective ship let them down. No whining. Clever and entertaining!

Thank you very much, Sharron! I wasn't sure where it was going but managed to give it some direction, I think. : )

Too funny, James Ron! I was hoping we would meet some aliens at the Senate UFO hearings! Now I know they like beer and Cinnabons!

I know, right? Show us something. Yes, the aliens like to party and they also have a sweet tooth. Thank you!

That's a hoot, James. Imaginative tale, my friend.

It was fun writing. Thank you, Jim! Haven't heard "hoot" in a while - it might be a Southern thing. : )

I made my own beer once. It tasted awful, but after one bottle, you didn't care.

And Tonto is Spanish for silly or foolish, or as you say, not a full deck. I think Johnny Depp mentioned this in the Lone Ranger movie.... :)

Well, glad they found their way to Wyoming. Thanks for the tale, James.

Hi Victor! I, too, have found homebrew not to my taste, but the results were positive. : ) I did look up the meanings of Kemosabe and Tonto and saw the Spanish references. I wasn't sure where I'd picked up the notion. I have yet to see the Johnny D Lone Ranger movie. Think I will now. Yes, they're off to Wyoming.Thank you!
