One morning I shot an elephant in my pajamas. How he got into my pajamas I’ll never know.

Captains Log

Stardate 0418.07

 

 

An away team consisting of Ambassador O’Brien and myself took the Orion on a fact-finding mission through the New Mexico Quadrant. First Contact was made in the Socorro Sector when we came upon a fledgling space exploration installation known by the local inhabitants as the VERY Large Array…or VLA. 

 

 This quaint but effective method for space exploration uses antique radio waves to determine the composition of various heavenly bodies.  If it was not against the Prime Directive I would have saved them the trouble and simply given them all the knowledge they craved in one word…..

CHEESE.

 

 

 We proceeded to our next destination (The Pie Town Sector) under impulse power.

 

 

To our great surprise and delight we found the Pietownians’ main occupation is making small round foods consisting of a grain crust and stuffed with whatever edible fruit and nut like fillings were available. I tested the “Apple Crunch” and found it fascinating.

 

 

 

We then proceeded in the Orion at warp 3 to the White Sands Sector where we spent the night with the Main Dunchee on Dunchee Mountain.

Early the next morning we were treated to some sort of  “Pancake Balls”….. interesting.

 

 

 

Fry Out.

 

Outside of a dog, a book is a man’s best friend.

Inside of a dog it’s too dark to read.
