Moving to the past

... and worms and silverfish and...

oh... um... hi...

[grinding of gears]

I guess picking here & now would be out of bounds?

I might wish to live in the settled, peaceful 1940s-'50s, right here where I grew up, the height of human civilization thus far. Liberty, opportunity, family, faith.

Or a hundred years ago when my great-grandpa was starting the cement plant here at the beginning of the oil boom: wild west meets industrial revolution.

But if I took with me knowledge of what was coming... then I believe I'd rather just be in the action-packed threat-laden Interesting Times of here & now.

As my 92yo mother likes to say, I just want to see what comes next!
