Quack System Upgrades

folkfreak, no, that's Precisely what I meant, but just got my authors' 'spun'...to place a pun on my goof....

Memory fails....aging 'wetware'...along with all the other stuff.  If it don't hurt, it don't work, more or less. *sigh*

Thanks for the correction, tho'...there's a little cartoon vid of a city taking off for those following the magic mouseklicks re Blish and the CIF series, BTB...major urban renewal technique potential there... ;)

dlcockrum/Dave...No offense taken, so no problem exists. *G*  As a southern CA native and a 'child of the 60's', much too laid back to take umbrage.  Besides, I suspected there was a sly snicker in there... ;)

"A ridiculous motor"....Having grown up in and with L.A. 'kar kulture' (drag strips, highly 'massaged' vehicles, 'rat bikes'....you name it, I've seen and heard it...), I have too many clues as to what that could encompass.  First thought was a nitro-burning 2 stroke bike motor....potentially a 'one run' motor...*HowwwwlBANG!*  That could be expensive entertainment...;)

...but I have a rather odd take on things....*G*

Yeah, AVL's a cool place to hang one's hat.  Got a brewery and good pizza joint a 10 min. stroll away from this desk.

 I  must   show   Restraint   .  Daily.  *L*

@asvjerry I'd hate to send someone off looking for that Heinlein reference 😉 which actually seems to be an obscure book of his. Besides Blish could use some more attention, he's a sorely underrated author
