@eaterofsnacks@bookstodon My pleasure. Currently, I'm reading the Time Odyssey by Arthur C Clarke and Stephen Baxter.
I'm near the end of the first book (Time's eye), I love it too.
@Wivik@bookstodon I'd read in Harlan Ellison's burbs in his books that there used to be a morning and evening mail in NYC when he lived there. I learned from my downstairs neighbor that during her childhood before WWII, she remembers mail delivery 3x/day--morning, afternoon, and evening--in her home in the UK.
If only mail service was as reliable and post offices were as inviolate as depicted in WAY STATION. It would make a nice limited streaming series.
