GM Travel

Wishful thinking: Let's genetically modify travel. Let's take away the genes for fatigue, motion-sickness and homesickness. Let's add genes for time-stretchness (when you just don't want the travel to end) and resource-non-endness (so you never run out of money). Also a radar-gene for meeting only interesting people who have real stories to tell, not people who think they do.

There will be additional genes for equipment - clothes that never soil or get wet, fuel that never runs out, stomach that never runs or gets fat despite a lot of gastronomical abuse, levers that handle any amount of alcohol, an ear-and-mouthpiece that communicate in every language/accent/dialect in the world.

Wait? Be on our best behavior till further notice? We know they are talking sense at their end, but it don't make no

So with them, I discovered, What rising was all about, To rise with us, you must only Fall in line, or fall out. So I fell out, a nd I’m free Free as free could be Fall comes, brings with it More offers to rise with thee But free I was, free I am Free is all I have. Free to think, write, express, And travel the world a tramp.
