So I'm getting my oil changed at Terrible Herbst in L.V. I am sitting in the lobby when a man says, "Did you work there?" He is looking at my t-shirt, which says, "The Atomic City - Los Alamos, N.M." I say, no, I only visited there. I then ask him if he worked there. He says, "No, I worked at that other place," nodding northward. He pauses. "Area 51. Fourteen years." I laugh and say, "You're not supposed to say it." He says, "I can say it." I say, "What did you do?" He says, "Master plumber." He is a small man in his 60s, working class, obviously retired. I can't see his car in the service bay, but I imagine it is a Caddy. I grasp for a question but can think of only one. "Is it union out there?" "Heavily," he says. He explains that everybody has to be "totally cleared" before they can work there. Being union makes it easier because it give them more records they can check. If you've never had a parking ticket, never been divorced, never had a credit card or been in a union, they can't take you, he says, because they don't have enough records on you. Just then the attendant calls me because my car is ready. I try to ask the guy a few more questions as the sale is being rung up. "What was your union? Teamsters?" "Local 525, Plumbers & Pipefitters. Everybody has their own union." He then volunteers: "Just people out there. I'm the closest thing to an alien you're going to find." I say, "You met any aliens?" He says, "That's what I'm saying. Just people out there. People working. I'm the closest thing to an alien you're gonna find." "Just aircraft," I say, but he doesn't respond. He adds, as if to reassure himself: "As of nine years ago, I could say it, 'Area 51'." "Well, see you later," I say as I walk out the door, although I know I never will.
