Although it's County Fair season in New England I could be persuaded to take a brief vacation in the United Federation of Planets. You know spend some time on the Enterprise, perhaps to meet Kirk, Sulu and the one with the pointy ears. They are a veritable triad representing the values of an enlightened, if …
Tourism of historical events? We can make a hunk of money on this one. You know, run hot air balloon tours over Gettysburg, fill the local hotels with temporal tourists trying to get a good exchange rate on their cash with the local money changers, whatever. However, we'd better plan on a separate commissary service. …
Perhaps you are familiar with the old Yogi Berra (no, that's not Yogi the Bear, idiot!) quote: “When you arrive at a fork in the road, take it.” Well, back in 1979, I did take the proverbial fork in the road, and it altered everything that followed- in a very good fashion. But not right …
