"He and the Samster are on vacation. Today, they planned to visit the Arch." If the whole Universe changes around you, that will mean that things did not go well at "The Guardian of Forever".

I was welcoming a new neighbor.

No explanation. I’m on Venus.
Er, that is, I’m doing research on Venus, for possible story aspects. Materials, plastics, that sort of thing.
One detail that seems to be frequently missed, when someone says “How do you pay for it?” is that Venus has something valuable that would be easy to extract and ship elsewhere: Carbon Dioxide
Who needs carbon dioxide? We all do. Carbon dioxide is a nutrient for our plants, a reaction fuel for our nuclear rockets, and a source for oxygen and carbon for carbon fiber and carbon nanotubes.
But primarily I see Venus as the refueling depot for nuclear rocket reaction mass. If you want to soft-land on the moon, or other airless bodies, what better than free carbon dioxide to jet out on the way down?
If you use it on Mars, you thicken the atmosphere, and Mars needs that.

Very good. Transfer Venusian atmosphere to Mars and make both more habitable. (To some degree.)

Exactly!
The next couple of centuries ought to be pretty exciting, if we can get our assets out of the doldrums.

Ah.
I'm gone for a while, perhaps the evening.

And I just here. If I didn’t look at the earthquake I missed we would have passed instead of just missing.

"If I didnt look at the earthquake I missed we would have passed instead of just missing." We can always count on you for clarity of observations.

Was that the earthquake/volcanic activity in Alaska?
I think I need to be on someone’s ping list to get first dibs on a thread. If I stay here, I’ll be a space case forever. *sigh*

Probably not then. I’m conducting a worldwide Internet meeting tomorrow morning (nothing big and we should be done in 30 minutes or less), then off to a new dentist. I forget what follows, but my computer & cellphone will remind me.

LOL!
I’ll be helping my new neighbor in the morning, then going to my friend’s house in the afternoon. I’ll have access to a computer there, but I’ll be busy washing clothes.
So I guess I’ll see you on Wednesday....

I haven't had my coffee yet... That actually made sense to me the first time through. Although, it should be noted that each successive reading became increasingly muddled.
Textual inebriation?

Go button is the red arrow shaped button on center console.
We made it red for humor sake for those of us like myself who are color blind in red/green.

Weird. I re-wired the commissaries coffee maker with a standard trigger gate. One of those yellow and black striped jobbies with the red toggle switch under it.
No real reason why. I just seemed like the thing to do.

"I re-wired the commissaries coffee maker with a standard trigger gate." That seems appropriate to me.
