Some Things Can’t Be Fixed
January 26, 2012 in Blogs
In case you were wondering (which probably you weren’t) the car was repaired and is back on the road. On the down side, the price–well, I had given a number that I said was the ceiling above which I wanted to be alerted, and they were only three quarters of the way to it, so I ought to be pleased; but there were some other unanticipated expenses which would have been easy to absorb had it not been for the huge car repair bill. It has put in jeopardy an anticipated trip to visit family this weekend which on one level we cannot afford to have put in jeopardy. So I’m scrambling to cover things.
Meanwhile, today is Thursday, and I uploaded another article to the temporal anomalies series at The Examiner, Blackadder Back & Forth part 10: repairs. There might be ways to fix the past, but for several reasons Edmond cannot do so the way he does it.
Not yet having received 11 Minutes Ago and finding a bit of extra time on my hand Tuesday evening, I have started working on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III. I don’t much like it–I mean, it’s a decent fun movie, but as a time travel story it’s going to be a lot of trouble. On the other hand, having seen it several (many?) times when my boys were younger, the single viewing with a notepad already made might be sufficient to cover the details.

“Footprints on the beach are the most important part of the scenario.”
That’s profound. I never thought of that.

I think that’s a quote from something I wrote in an e-mail? I don’t think anyone reading here will get the context. But I’m glad it meant something to you.

Yeah, that’s right. I know the context isn’t here, but this is hardly unusual for me.

If it was that good, it might help to give the context. I know it relates to my reasons for rejecting your arguments about a scenario you don’t want to mention publicly, but if it was helpful it might be worth mentioning in a bit more detail.
