CARMA, huh? Pretty good retronym, but couldn't they have called it Kilometer Array for Research in Millimeter-wave Astronomy? Something associated with it must be a kilometer long or wide.
When they decommissioned it a year ago, they hauled each one down the mountain intact. They are huge, and there is a one-lane mountain pass in the way. Now they are just mothballed at the Owens Valley Radio Laboratory. Thanks, Obama!

Jeez I drove up there one time found the general unearthliness of the environment amplified by my thin-air giddiness.
