Love this! It should be required reading in schools. Also, I see Timothée Chalamet playing Stuart Alexander in the movie version, but you may have different ideas. Regardless, well done, as ever. Thank you for another inbox treat.

I had to look up Timothée Chalamet. The young Dune Prince. Good choice, you should be in charge of casting. Many thanks for reading and for your comment, Mike.

I must be out of touch. I keep needing to look things up. In this case could only come up with Hari Seldon the inventor of pyschohistorty who I do indeed remember fondly from the Asimov books.

Well, that's excellent. I like that I didn't find it easy to know exactly what was going on which kept me guessing trying to fit it together. The opposite of boring. I like the liberties you took with language and folk talk. But that's just my opinion as I'm a dinosaur myself.

Thank you Andrew. I'm glad you liked it. And you may be a dinosaur (me too!) but you are indeed a wise one.

Actually, I never know what anybody will say. Different strokes for Sly and the Family Stone fans and all that plus I sometimes go off (like this piece) on weird tangents I hadn't really planned. And then who knows.

But I always do appreciate your comments Mitchell and I'm glad you found some chortles. Many thanks for reading!

Thanks Edward. I may have had others in mind, but so many are interchangeable.
