Time Travel Question 66: 20th Century and Earlier

These Questions are the result of suggestions from the previous iteration.

This category may include suggestions made too late to fall into the correct grouping.

Please add new suggestions below if you have them for future consideration.

People suggested a lot of different ones. Feel free to put your favorite in the notes. There was no consensus as to which in the first round, and by the time I realized I should do a separate poll it was far, far too late and it would have taken hours to go through all the notes. If you suggest enough, I'll make one now.

I drove through gold today

July 20, 1991

As usual, I flee to the City to thaw—to find my tender, soft self under the mantel of snow dumped on my soul by our numbing world. I drove through gold today, from July to April. At some point, their grey touches our blue.

I bring a bit of summer and of warmth to them.

"Invest in the future" reads a Honda Accord Ad as it glides by. The train howls a mournful greeting to passing blue stalked flowers—

Somehow this week, I felt slightly trapped in a depression death grip of my own life.

Why is our public face so solemn? Almost grieving? Non expression, Flat. Is the face of 1991.

Notes : 11/12/2024

In the above entry I am talking about the 90 mile journey from my home in Modesto, California to San Fransisco, California.

I would drive part way to San Fransisco and  take the Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) train the rest of the way from Oakland. Modesto is in the San Joaquin Valley which tends to be much warmer in the summer than the  San Fransisco By Area. The grass on the hills between the valley and the Bay Area turns golden in the summer. It can be blue and sunny in the valley and grey and cold in the Bay Area at the same time. The mind set in the valley tends to be conservative. In the Bay Area it tends to be open and liberal. So the trip from the valley to the City (San Francisco is called The City here) is like going 1000 miles. Moving from one world to another.
