HEY!! There is nothing bizarre about "Antelope" for a town name! I'm from
the Antelope Valley, in which you can find Antelope Acres. Also a Quartz
Hill, a Palmdale (named for its joshua trees (which aren't palms)), a 
Lancaster (named for Hannibal Missouri), and a Pearblossom (as in 
_The_Crows_of_...)(ever read much Aldous Huxley?).

Ever see "The Right Stuff"?

(Now, Pismo Beach and Lompoc and Weedpatch and Yreka: those are bizarre names.)
