If I had a transporter

[cjsmith]

Let's say I had access to a Star-Trek-style transporter. Limited range; can't use it for interplanetary travel. Can move me and anything I can carry, eg change of clothes. Each time I got zapped to a new location, it'd cost me twenty bucks. What would I do with it?

1. This week: Commute between Cleveland, where my mom is helping care for my grandmother, and here. Attend the funeral should it occur.

2. Go to Sterling Vineyards and purchase a couple bottles of their Malvasia Bianca.

3. After the holiday fuss: Visit Rick and split one of those bottles with him. Depart when he gets annoying. Visit wcg and split another with him. Depart whenever. After all, for another twenty bucks I can come back at another convenient time. Visit abz6598 and ask whether or not he drinks wine. Depart whenever.

4. Go to Minden and take a few refresher lessons in gliders.

5. Visit the space station, briefly. If I'm not killed on sight, ask if there's anything people want me to bring them.

6. Long term: Take EMT training and volunteer for weird rescue missions.

Can I carry you? ;-)

If I can move OTHER people, the possibilities multiply!

Should I refrain from commenting?

I'm now picturing C5 level calling, invovling large distances, cellphones, and many teleportation devices...

On another note - are you going to answer your email? :->

Uh oh, what email? Better send it again, or ping me with a subject line. It probably dropped off my radar.

Yes, find the email (if it's the one I think it is).

Wanna meet me and indyansel?? *waggles eyebrows suggestively**

*leer* Sure! Though I'm hesitant to make plans for the coming weeks, as I may just have to drop them. A pox on uncertainty, sez I.

I got a leer!!!! I got a leer!!!!

Well, plan on making it, and if you have to drop them, we'll understand.

Between now and the seventh of January, I have exactly four days left where it's worth making any plans. Just gotta figure out how to divvy 'em up. :-)

Hmm, separate post coming, I can tell.

Aw crud, I just figured out where you are. Disregard previous idiocy. Indianapolis, eh? Hrm. Tricky...
