I had a long trip to get here, starting at 2:30 AM Central (two-hour bus ride from Columbia MO to St. Louis, two-hour plane ride to Charlotte, five-hour plane ride to Seattle), but I’m at the Museum of Flight, where I’ll be giving a talk and book signing tomorrow, for any Seattlites who want to show up. It’s $20 admission to the Spacefest, but it’s an opportunity for a signed book if you don’t have one.
I’ve never been here this time of year. I was surprised at the fall colors.
A 2:30 AM bus rid through Missouri, huh?
Well, 3 AM. I got up at 2:30 AM.
Wow you’re doing a lot of traveling these days
Good thing you were headed east. Just a couple of miles west of Columbia, there is a low spot on I-70 where it crosses the river. At night, you can get sudden thick fog there. You can barely see in front of you and you dare not stop.
Rand, if I wasn’t working I would love to say hello.
I’ve heard they serve specialty coffees in special shops there. Even though you don’t like coffee, perhaps you should check one out. 🙂
They’re also said to put really tasty treasures in dumpsters for young people to find. It’s some kind of game or something.
They have a wall of free gum, all you need do is reach out and take it.
Maybe Rand will tell us about his experiences with VR and other fun stuff.
