Mark from Grandbury... up a ways along a dirt road from the Pate Museum used to be an abandoned observatory at the top of a hill. Whatever happened to that?

yeah I have searched for it using google satellite and can't find it. They may have built houses though.
why did the airforce take them back.... maybe pate leased them. I bet he did.

Totally agree with Mark, it was very cool, and I figured you would have taken care any hazards. Sometimes if you don't have anything good to say, one should say nothing.

If a fire were to break out from the inside (Funk spontaneous combustion?) and blocks the other exit? He has 2 exits, correct? Wouldn't he simply go out the other exit? Or the emergency break-out window? Shoot, I have a 30' RV with only 1 door. There's a reason the windows are knock-out emergency windows... If there's a fire between me & that door, and it's not caused by my girlfriend and I doin' the hoochie koo, you can bet your bottom dollar that I'm popping that emergency hatch in a jiffy, without any hesitation whatsoever. Looks to me like the Funkabbqmobile has that as a built-in...

Barbefunkoramaque and btcg went on a BBQing competition in the Funkatorium. After a good event, they lay down for the night and went to sleep. Some hours later, Barbefunkoramaque awoke and nudged his safety conscious friend.
Barbefunkoramaque said: "btcg, look up and tell me what you see". Btcg said: "I see a fantastic panorama of countless stars". Barbefunkoramaque : "And what does that tell you?" btcg pondered for a moment: "Astronomically, it tells me that there are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets. Astrologically, I observe that Saturn is in Leo. Horologically, I deduce that the time is approximately a quarter past three. Theologically, I can see that God is all powerful and that we are small and insignificant. Meteorologically, I suspect that we will have a beautiful day tomorrow." "Why? - What does it tell you, Barbefunkoramaque?" Barbefunkoramaque was silent for a moment then spoke: "Someone has stolen our Funkatorium." Apologies to the original author. Mike D |

singlehandedly the funniest thing I have read anywhere in half a year. God I love new members! Such a breath of freshness... not unlike when Sasha Blonde came on the scene.
