Romance? That picture ... umm, wow. Georgia O'Keefe would blush!

Looks like Conservative Lesbian Individualist Theology.

An aside, Robert Heinlein wrote, in one of his alternative universe lines, it wasn't jets that moved people around but luxurious and absolutely quiet dirigibles ("a properly designed engine will not make noise") ... the Hindenburg disaster had never happened in that universe.

Say Darleen, I notice you're a Battlestar fan.
Is the new series still measuring up?

Way back when, we would all pile into a tiny red Datsun once a week and drive across the bay to Eric's apartment. Once there we would descend to the utmost depths of fanboy depravity, watching the original series on Eric's great, big color tv.

Eric, who can't abide science fiction, would retreat to the kitchen with what he clearly imagined was a neutral expression.

Imagine a wet cat.

Rudyard Kipling was 'way ahead of Heinlein.

Rudyard Kipling? Can you explain please?

1909. Rudyard Kipling. With the Night Mail: A Story of 2000 A.D.

Fictional news account. Reporter goes on a run with the overnight trans-Atlantic mail deliveries.

Poe did it a half-century earlier in The Great Balloon Hoax, but that was a fictional crossing by balloon, not high-speed dirigible.
