Terraforming
The year is 2042. The world has been ravaged by climate change, and the few remaining humans live in domed cities. Outside the domes, the air is toxic and the land is barren. The domes are powered by solar energy and have their own water recycling systems. They are self-sufficient and have everything the humans need to survive. However, they are also isolated from the outside world. The humans inside the domes have never seen the sun or the stars. They know nothing of the world that once existed. They are a new species, adapted to life in a harsh and unforgiving environment.

Beware All Who Enter Here
1999 Diane was driving across the country to return home for the summer break. She had made the decision not to teach any courses and to simply take a real break for a change. There would be no students, no professors, and no dean, just the open road with her mother and father waiting for her at the end. She needed a mental break before arriving home in order to prepare herself for the news she would be sharing with them.

The Big Bird
Today in odd news in the UPI, I saw an article from July 7th, that said some officers were called to capture an emu that was running free. They eventually reunited the bird with its owner. Now in itself, the story didn't stand out much, but it reminded me of a time my oldest daughter was in preschool. Since the story that is to follow is true, I will omit the town and names to protect the identity of any innocent people.
