From Slate: In 2010, We Will Live on the Moon
Remembering the giddy futurism of Omni magazine.
I loved Omni, so I found this interesting ....
But that's just my point! You she obeys! She obeys you! There's obeying going on right under my nose!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Omni folded because we didn't need to read about the future any more -- we're living in it.

I am allegedly working from home, but there wasn't anything I could bring home. I guess I should at least check my email.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm thinking about taking a second shower to warm up. Or getting back in bed. I've sent two or three emails, so that seems like enough work...

If Sue is still around:
If someone were contemplating a trip that involved Montréal, Québec, northern VT, and Acadia National Park in Maine and was thinking of adding Nova Scotia to the mix, what would that involve logistically--would one have to drive around via Moncton, or are there ferries that crossover from ME or St John?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
perhaps I wasn't crazy when I thought they were noticeably low on the ride here.
Probably not crazy - my brother's and parents' cars tell them when it's particularly cold out (under 30F? I forget) expressly so they can check their tire pressure.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
There are ferries from Maine to Nova Scotia.

Back in 1982, my family and I took a ferry from Bar Harbor to Yarmouth, NS. The trip was terrific, but I wished we could have spent more time in NS--we only drove around the western half of the island for about 24 hours all told before we got back on the ferry and headed back to Maine.
I'm pretty sure that ferry is still in operation.

My mother adds that the "cruise ship" ferry called Prince of Fundy is awful. There's something called The Cat that's faster and she says it's better.
