Sci-Fi Sundays: Analog, December 1962

@hecep No. If old serial sci fi had influenced the 1998 Lost in Space, the story would have been better. The armor and the robot were two best things about that movie, and I can’t remember much else about it.

Such wonderful details. There’s a lightning rod with glass bulb, to see lightning had actually hit, on the the house along with an Amish hex sign, for love I believe.

My parents used to have a stack of them, supposedly left over from my grandparents farm. Goods were often traded for goods where my father was from, regardless if the goods were necessary.

Fast forward some time. My mother hammers one up on the side of their house. A person comes up and says, “You know what that’s worth.” My mother, “It’s worth nothing if it isn’t being used. It’s not like they can’t paint more.” I’m pretty sure it was the woman who owned the “antique” store on the main street who covered every craft project in milk paint and called it an “antique”. We also had a few religious weirdos think they were signs made by the devil. But I digress.

I am going to paint a modern hex sign and use rockets as symbols.
