Same, RI. I just read NL’s obit, and it was a beautiful tribute to a man who was far more than his pareidolia.

It makes my heart feel big, and my innards smile, seeing you post.
Likewise. Greetings, Res Ipsa.

Sad news. I called the museum’s number, and it was disconnected. A little googling led me to his obituary from earlier this year. https://www.gilliesmortuary.com/obituaries/james-muir

I’m sorry I didn’t get the chance to meet him.
This is sad to learn about. Fortunately I took a trip to meet him and visit his museum:

I think it's still there. Sent you a message. Try and find it. :lol:

What an outstanding obituary. I wish that I could have met James.

You guys. If you didn't watch the video below Jim's obit, you really should do that.

Good to see you, RI.
Religion is for people whose existential fear is greater than their common sense. It's also the favored cover for hypocrites.

The god idea is popular with desperate people.

Hello all! Happy Pioneer Day! I find myself today in the Shadow of the Apocalrock, thinking of Nightlion and wondering if his museum is still there. Maybe I’ll try to sneak up there later today.

I hope that life finds you all well and happy.

I am sorry that I missed this post on the day you visited, RI. I have missed your presence here, and I will miss Nightlion. I wish we had all been able to meet up in "Zion" and visit the museum.

DrStak was fortunate to have been able to visit, as was I. Sockpuppet and I visited James' museum some years ago as part of a Kishapalooza gathering. We all dined together at the Red Iguana, If I recall correctly. Things got a little tense because Nightlion unironically and passionately believed in his prophetic calling, while the majority of the group was only too happy to be free of Mormonism and theism as well. Nevertheless, everyone was a grownup, and we all parted on good terms.

Reading Nightlion's obituary helps me appreciate him all the more. We only experienced a very narrow aspect of this fascinating person's life, something a visit to his museum would confirm. Nightlion shared his music with us when we visited. You could tell he was a person of many talents, but clearly there was still much to see that we would never witness personally.

Thanks for dropping by, RI. I hope we see more of you, but I will take what I can get.

Sorry to hear about Nightlion. I didn't have that much interaction with him but he certainly was resolute about his opinions.

Res, when are you coming back? The internet sovereigns request your presence here.
