All three stories have some reference to it.<BR/><BR/>Of course, I've always said that the most reliable way to get rid of a weed for good is to find a use for it and start cultivating it.....Larry Kollarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08317037795075278427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12954391.post-8296167895017975042007-06-15T02:28:00.000-04:002007-06-15T02:28:00.000-04:00Well boy howdy there FAR ...

I'm w/FM too, this first part did remind me of Heinlein as well (<I>I Will Fear No Evil</I> is one of my faves of his, btw). <BR/><BR/>I got a great chuckle out of the bit about weaving kudzu baskets! Makes sense to me! Gotta make do with what you have, and in this vision, that makes perfect sense! Thx.... and I'll be back soon to read the rest!Iowa Victory Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07220818462081082930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12954391.post-39149919516591399342007-06-11T22:17:00.000-04:002007-06-11T22:17:00.000-04:00Thanks, Olivia.

Hm. I have a pretty good overall view of the world as it would be in that time; I could at least mine a collection of short stories from it if not an entire book.<BR/><BR/>The second installment, a somewhat darker vision, will probably go up over the weekend. I haven't started the third (darkest of all), which may be the most difficult — I have an idea how it will start, but where it goes… I may have to just start writing and let the story lead the way.Larry Kollarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08317037795075278427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12954391.post-31421533293124908402007-06-08T08:38:00.000-04:002007-06-08T08:38:00.000-04:00This is a great story FARfetched.

I don't know if you like being compared, but I used to read Heinlein when I was younger, and it gave me a feeling of reading one of his books.<BR/><BR/>I think your muse should take you farther and have a whole book out of this.Family Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17101125448247590979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12954391.post-40550568351591948422007-06-07T20:51:00.000-04:002007-06-07T20:51:00.000-04:00I get to comment on my own story first!Actually, I...I get to comment on my own story first!<BR/><BR/>Actually, I just wanted to say that there was much more to Vision the First than what you see here — mostly about the things my future self got up to later in life, including nearly getting arrested for sedition. But like the sculptor with the block of stone, you have to chip off what's not part of the statue.Larry Kollarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08317037795075278427noreply@blogger.com
