GUEST,Pete Peterson BS: If You Were Stuck..... (31) RE: BS: If You Were Stuck..... 23 Sep 04

After dreaming of going with my truelove to Bristol Virginia toward the end of July 1927, or Spray NC any time between about 1925 and May 1931, I remember the couple of little pills I take every day which wouldn't be invented for another 60 years or so, and give thanks that I am right here when I am.

Of course, traveling with Louis Wu through Known Space would probably mean they would have medicines that would cure my chronic conditions once and for all, but I wonder if I would be the equivalent of a red-shirt-wearing ensign on the Enterprise.

As Oscar Otter said at the end of the eponymous book "I am happy right here where I am."
