I have a feeling France will do great in the advertising business.

A wonderful extra story from you, Mark! I think the time travel element was done really well! I laughed out loud at the line, "Swan had the moral compass of a hungry crocodile". Great stuff!

You got me with the title 😛 as Sharron mentioned 80 years from now is hard to imagine then I think of the changes my grandmother saw from 1886 to 1982... Then what I've seen from Sputnik, to man in space, to 1963 when a classmates dad came in with a twenty foot paper tape punched with binary code to add some numbers with a warehouse sized machine to run the program - then the computer lab building at Dartmouth College - now look what we carry in our pocket 😜 Hmmm should check Star Trek and the like for possible clues 😊

A very effective opener on this story, Mark. Made me want to jump right in. But, like France, I would prefer living back in the 1930s to what may be in store in 2103. Actually, a life 80 years from now is unimaginable to me. I have little hope for the future of humankind at the rate things are changing.
