    Ha! I love the “o` lead poisoning” comment, I’ve used it to run kids off there were trying to set our hay bales on fire 😉

      Never mind that my shotgun had rock salt loads 😀

    Finally the two female leads are face-to-face! Now if Rosa can swoop in to save Suzie….

      Oh I have a hunch she was expecting this, and why they robbed the “coffins” for the floating cams first. Everyone is going to be freaked out when the cams go haywire and then the cavalry will show up.

In Suzie's defense, it's not like they were going to get out of this by being nice.

Fashion forward…

After a few weeks you’d think I’d have plenty of backlogged experiences and observations to drone on about in this blog, and I do! But just at the moment I’m also suffering from a rather distracting stomachache, so I’m going to link this video without too much comment on it, other than I found it fascinating, especially from an alternate history/speculative fiction perspective. This lady (Nicole Rudolph) delved up some vintage fashion magazine articles imagining how people would dress “in the future,” decades or even a century down the road. I’ve seen stuff like this a lot in terms of technology, travel, etc. — but fashion? Never. That might just be me, though, since Dawn has assured me this is hardly the only video on the subject. After all, if you’re going to have a world where blimps somehow became the primary mode of travel (mostly because blimps were such a big fad in the early 1900s), you might as well have a look at what people of that time thought would be the inevitable march of blimp-based couture.

Anyhow, fascinating. The imaginings miss the mark for the most part, but sometimes it’s exactly those types of misses that really fire the “what if?” parts of our brains.
