But it took the better part of  nine hours for Your Intrepid Cancer Cure Rider to travel the 376 miles to get there, so the aliens had all returned to their Flying Saucers as I was arriving in town.<\/p>\n<p>Your Intrepid Cancer Cure Rider is a believer.

I could hear the hoof beats, see the dust rising, feel the heat as it rose from the desert.
