After a friend insisted that we go, Ragnar and I made the trek up to Baraboo, Wisconsin to see the Forevertron. Slightly hidden behind a hardware store and covered with trees, we walked through a lane of random metal parts and then as when we rounded the bend, there it was in all its glory. Sitting in a parked car was Dr. Evermore, the much talked about creator of this magestic sculpture park. His wife, Lady Evermore was in her office, an old sea green airstream. She came out to give us molasses cookies, and told us that her husband had recently had a stroke. When we talked to him, he could still speak but it was slow and slurred. What we did make out was that he told us we seem like the right kind of people. The Forevertron is a gigantic machine that he built to ostensibly propel him into the heavens when he's ready to go. The park is filled with all kinds of metal wonders, as well as an epicurean grill right out of a willy wonka movie. People get married here, but I just want to go to heaven.
