Confusing old postcard from the 1930s showing the Florida home of 1970s astronaut Darby McNab resplendent in tropical foliage and hedges of flame vine.
The horrific inset image of McNab shows him in a Daedalus-era space suit covered in “space daisies,” one side of his face ruined and grotesque and awesome.
If you asked Docking Module Pilot Darby McNab which he loved more, docking his space module or tending the lush, tropical garden at his home in Bilgewater, Florida, he might hem and haw for a few minutes while never providing a definitive answer, but, if you gave him a couple friendly shots of Idaho bourbon, would ramble on and on about a creature he referred to as the Skunk Ape, but which we all know better as Bigfoot or Smelly Theodore.
Forever lost in a time-tripping compression scallion, McNab was still able to make it home for Thanksgiving dinners in 1987, 1944, 1922, and 2041 (in that order), all of which ended in bitter recrimination and tears.
