Hi Jilliope.


Hi Jilliope.

The other day, you asked for some details on my recent trip. Do you remember? I'd spent a life on a remote planet near the outer edge of spiral galaxy #38 that some of the locals call Earth?

At the time, you said: Tell me more.
But, I didn't quite know how.

The other other day, though, while rearranging the habitual clutters, I came across this semi-interesting set of photos from the very journey that piqued your curiosity! Taken by my Observer, they were arranged chronologically, packaged up as a little memory-gift, and presented at the end of the trip, with the instruction: "In case anyone asks."

And, yes, indeed, these images do jog my memory! They're an odd set, though. Important events are left out, while there are many photos of rather trivial things -- in fact, just the sort of photographic record that the humans make of their "vacations" -- so maybe the Observer was experimenting with local style? Who knows?

Anyway, I've decided that the best way to slake your thirst for details (such as it is) would be to make you a little photo album with some kind of running commentary. I hope you enjoy the resulting conglomerate!

Yes, now that my ruminations are redigesting that trip, points of interest are popping up. Earth is an odd place -- and growing ever odder! It's got a tremendous amount of problems which are, by now, self-proliferating. These, in turn, crush or (at best) limit the possibilities of most of the unfortunate three-brained beings arising there. In fact, it's gotten so bad that "religions" have arisen which worship these very problems! But, I'm getting ahead of myself here.

So, anyway, the album begins at the Travel Center and ends with me back at home.
Have fun!

with love, pablum
