Thanks for the recommendation, Dan... no, I haven't read it, but I certainly will now.

You reminded me that the Good Doctor was also a master at the "construction" of aliens for his stories, and should have been mentioned in my earlier post. The middle third of The Gods Themselves comes to mind...

And, no, the other side of the mountain was never enough for me, and it's not enough for my kids, either. We continue to push and learn, always wanting to not just know what's over there, but to go and see it for ourselves. And if it's really nice over there, we think about moving there for a while.

Actually, that's what I meant to imply with my little phrase "the other side of the mountain". That is, after all, how sentient life colonized this planet.

Cheers back atcha,
Fox
