News From Poughkeepsie – Day 142

Road trip..though time.

Cindy was just about go off shift when an elderly couple in silver jumpsuits approached her.

“Excuse me, Officer,” said the woman. Her red hair and white teeth stood in proud defiance of clear age of her face. She motioned to her companion, who sported white hair and huge sunglasses. “My boyfriend Barry–he’s not my husband, don’t call him that–Barry and I were on our way to the Paleolithic, and I think we’re lost.”

“We’re not lost, Myra,” Barry said. “I’ve been traveling this time stream for 60 years. We’re in 1963, right? The year? 1963? I know how to get back from 1963.”

“No,” Cindy said. “This is…um…this is 2009.”

“I told you. Why can you never ask for directions?” Myra turned to Cindy. “Can you tell us how to get to the Paleolithic from here?”
