What kinda threw me for a few minutes were the references to the Antelope Valley- which is the valley where I live in Mojave, California. There a desperate lack of beautiful, brainy ladies of the night here, however. Mojave is a truckstop town with a really cool air- and space-port, and it's a great place to test rockets because there's bugger-all else to do here...
