Naemanson BS: Unemployed, uh, retired in Guam (56* d) RE: BS: Unemployed, uh, retired in Guam 25 Mar 17


Snow, Charley? I commented to Wakana earlier today that I don't feel the heat like I used to. It's quite liberating. I'm not sure I could readjust to the cold if I had to.

I am rereading Jodi Taylor's Chronicles of Saint Mary's, a set of books about a team of historical researchers based near London at some point in the future. The first book was published in 2013. The action takes place a little while after a civil war in England boots out a fascist government. There are comments about America closing its borders, again. She wrote this in 2012! Seems to be coming true.

Anyway, the researchers do NOT do time travel. They do historical research in contemporary time. I envy Ms. Taylor's ability to write likable characters who have a lighthearted funny method of interacting and mix that up with the fear and danger of being in another time. I love these books.
