4f9a5c6 "People think of education as something that they can finish. And what's more, when they finish, it's a rite of passage. You're finished with school.

Now you're an adult, you don't do that sort of thing any more. learning lifetime Isaac Asimov

65b0769 "Last night I thought about all that kerosene I've used in the past ten years. And I thought about books. And for the first time I realized that a man was behind each one of the books. A man had to think them up. A man had to take a long time to put them down on paper. And I'd never even thought that thought before." He got out of bed. "It took some man a lifetime maybe to put some of his thoughts down, looking around at the world and life and then I come along in two minutes and boom! it's all over." "Let me alone," said Mildred.

For the connoisseur of fast-foods, Albrechts' famous hotdogs and coldcats were sold fresh from his stall (Albrecht's Takeaways) on Lupini Square. For the sake of his own mental health he had temporarily removed Hot Stuff Blend from the menu. The city was home to Atro City University, which taught everything from algebra and make-up application to advanced stamp collecting; and it was also home to the planet-famous bounty hunter - Beck the Badfeller. Beck was a legend in his own lifetime. If Deanna had any folklore, then Beck the Badfeller was one of its main features. He was the local version of Robin Hood, the Davy Crockett of Deanna. The Local rumor mill had it he was so good he could find the missing day in a leap year. Once, so the story goes, he even found a missing sock. story life all and application atro badfeller beck blend capital coldcats crockett davy deanna fast-foods features for from had lifetime local make-up menü mill moderate once planet-famous size sock square stall taught the there was were missing year where he collecting of hood to little luxury bounty goes everything city folklore university Christina Engela
