One of the features of the multiverse, Mark, is that all things are possible... but not necessarily likely. So there *IS* a you out there somewhere living in a house on a beach... possibly wondering what kind of idiot he was to sink all the family cash into property that will be under water during the next hurricane that hits, and thinking he should have stuck with that airline job...
“Scramblin’ Man” — Worthy of Al Yankovic!
“3-Line Conversations” — #1. Totally relatable! “It’s a five-mile trail, how hard could it be?”
"My father was a grill cook down in Georgia, Cookin’ eggs for pert near everyone" Ha ha ha! "Pert near"! This is so funny, Mark. You made my morning. I knew the melody and sang along immediately. Also, for the picture - all three conversations were excellent! But I have to say the guy who brought the peanut butter crackers is my kind of guy. Just saying. Nice work!
When I moved south, I loved hearing all the southern lingo. "I'm fixin' to.." "What in Tarnation?" "You scared the peawaddlintar outta me." And the pronunciation of certain words like "ole" for oil.
The crackers is my favorite also. Probably a little too close to home. 😉
I’m going to be singing “Scramblin’ Man” all day now, ha! Too funny. I enjoyed all three conversations, but the first one was my favorite. The peanut butter crackers line gave me a good laugh! 🤣
I’m late reading this. I loved the conversation idea. It was hard but my choice is #1.
You’re not late. Humor and fiction are timeless. 😉 The peanut butter crackers one is the reader favorite. Mine too. 🤓
Alternate Timelines Are Cruel - May all our alternate selves live in beach houses.
Scramblin’ Man - “When I was born with a spatula in my right hand, They knew I was my Daddy’s son” That poor mom though. Ouch!
Reader’s Choice. You Pick The Conversation - I like the “Peanut butter crackers” one the most.
That would be a tough birth!
Peanut Butter crackers for the win!
Definitely liked peanut butter crackers best! But they were all good, including the stories not associated with the picture!
Thank you, Dascha. Peanut Butter crackers seems to be the favorite. People love snacks. 🤣
Mark, Having lived all three variations in some manner, I'm hard put to choose a favorite. But I'm leaning towards #3.
I knew you were out of this world, but not literally. That explains a lot. 🤣
It helps when writing, to see things objectively. But I admit, at times, I weary of that sense of alienation.
Or Alien Nation?

If I buy a beach house on an alternate timeline, I hope it will be one where the Earth doesn't have hurricanes and food is free. 🤣
Thanks, Jack.
The peanut butter crackers!! Now I want some!
Make sure you have some water! 🤣
"I hope I enjoyed it." Love it!
Thanks, Kevin. Who knows? You might have had the house next door. 🤣

I too preferred the first convo, having been in a similar situation 😆🤣
Loved your take on the great Allman Brothers song!
Thanks, Kim. It is my favorite also. 🤣
Favorite = #2 pb crackers 😮 My own mouth now feels dry.
Me too! 🤣

Nothing like some peanut butter crackers (without water) in the desert.
