Eeeeeexcellent stuff all round. I'd love to hear this sooner or later. Hyperborea, Scotsman!

Far friggin' out!

d..da...dang Gerry...this looks nothing short of spectacular!

...'n all that's missing from yr cover is a libation of choice ('n maybe blow a stick or 2).

Terence: Some question. I suppose most people believe space travel is right around the corner. I certainly hope so. I think we should all learn Russian in anticipation of it, because apparently the U.S. government is incapable of sustaining a space program. The time travel question is more interesting. Possibly the world is experiencing a compression of technological novelty that is going to lead to developments that are very much like what we would imagine time travel to be. We may be closing in on the ability to transmit information forward into the future, and to create an informational domain of communication between various points in time. How this will be done is difficult to imagine, but things like fractal mathematics, superconductivity, and nanotechnology offer new and novel approaches to realization of these old dreams. We shouldn't assume time travel is impossible simply because it hasn't been done. There's plenty of latitude in the laws of quantum physics to allow for moving information through time in various ways. Apparently you can move information through time, as long as you don't move it through time faster than light.

DJB: Why is that?

Terence: I haven't the faintest idea. What am I Einstein?

DJB: What do you think the ultimate goal of human evolution is?

Terence: Oh, a good party.

indeed, Valis, old chum, indeed

Looks great. When we get around to trading again (soon, Gerry, soon--I promise), I want this one.

Gerry - I am lusting after this one. Fantastic cover too! Can you throw this on the trade stack?

Beautiful Gerry. On the nascent pile please.

....took this on a long (!) raod trip last week, and it was just the ticket....smooth and relaxing and brilliantly rendered---exactly as the title implies! Great work Gerry!
