I may be in the minority these days, but I love anything to do with the Wild West — except the Will Smith movie, the Wild Wild West, that was garbage — I just can’t get enough of the old Sonoran scenery, saloons, and shootouts.

V is for Viper Launch Station
Okay, I admit that the letter “V” had me stumped.
