{Nineteen} &diams It's another perfect day

Has anyone else been having difficulty with their chairs? Mine start singing and moving about whenever I try to sit in them.

On a different note, does anyone know if the buffet that is currently occupying the Wilderness only consists of Earth food? I will get round to exploring it properly myself soon, I was just curious if anyone had discovered food that is obviously not from Earth.

I don't think it is. Any food in the Wilderness is going to be Earth food because it's here.

It a question of fuel and propulsion and the time it would take to get to Earth from another solar system. I'm not sure about the cows, though. I can't really remember...I just feel like kidnapped cows have something to do with aliens, except they don't.

And here is Earth, is it?

Ah, you are judging your measurements no doubt on fuels and methods of propulsion Earth had at its disposal. How do you know other worlds might not have come up with other means, or had other materials they could use?

...I think the cow issue may be a red herring of sorts.

Well, it's definitely not Mars.

People can actually learn a lot about what's available elsewhere, even from far away! That's what I love about science. It never stops being interesting.

...I think it probably is.

It certainly isn't Earth. And I never said I was from Mars.

Yes, science is a never-ending field of study. You never know what you might discover.

I'm not sure about that. There are trees, animals, oxygen, people—it's pretty Earthlike. (Mars was just an example.)

Exactly!

Except the squirrels are the size of bears, and the tree is perhaps far too large. But still, I take your point.
