Nice Guy but no matter a. A a a Star trek spaces out Good against evilly Ana Veciana Suarez Cox news service let me Start by saying this i am not a Bona fide trekkie. I do not attend Star trek conventions around the country nor do i Wear exotic costumes. I do not own a phase or a communicator though i have often wished i could Zap a few people out of my Way. I have never won a trivia contest about the Sci i thriller and occasionally falter when trying to remember the names of the original cast members. If there is a cult of Star trek in a certainly on the fringes. But boy do i love a Good Star trek episode. I like the Romance and adventure the pure fantasy of travelling in another time to another place without the physical constraints we must endure. Can you imagine dear Rush hour commuter getting to work by simply uttering a energize a goodbye traffic. Goodbye stress. Or imagine solving the anguish of a difficult decision by turning to the always logical pointy eared Spock or sensitive sensible Counselor Deanna Troi of the next generation. A if life were that simply Complex. Star trek is 25 years old. On Star Date 9.s.66. It beamed onto our screens with a cast of characters that was in one word exotic Spock Scott Sulu and by the second season Chukov and Juhura. The series lasted Only three years a 79 episodes a with Low ratings which As Spock would have so aptly opined was Quot highly in those three years however. Star trek de what the Job was he do it. A if someone is bad at one Job you can bet hell be bad at another one too. A when i hear a promotional and on television for a news show and it tells about a Story they re going to have on tomorrow i done to watch it. If they know what the Story is today they ought to Tell me today. Tomorrow it wont be news it la be history a it s easy to Start hating someone on a television news broadcast. It ruins the show for you. If the newscasters mannerisms annoy you Man of woman you Start paying More attention to them than to the news and they can drive you crazy. It accounts for Why you hear people say a i can to stand Peter Jennings. I hate Dan rather. Tom Brokaw is last night someone said that about Jane Pauley and i always thought she was one of the hardest people to hate in television. A less than half the fresh fruit we buy is any Good but we keep buying it anyway. You re always hoping for that perfect Grapefruit that perfect Melon that perfect peach or Pear. They say fruit ripens after its picked but most of it rots before it ripens. A on vacation i sleep less. I hate to waste it. A its not Clear to me Why so Many containers Are round like bottles instead of Square like milk Cartons. A bottle takes up a lot More space in the refrigerator or on a store shelf. In be never seen a Square bottle of Beer or a Square can of Coke. Would it be More expensive to make them Square just asking. A when you pump your own Gas at a self Infra tune if service place its hard not to end up with a Little Gas on your hands. There might be a Market for a machine that dispenses Little packets containing a piece of wet cloth or paper that you could clean your hands with. Id pay a Nickel but not a Quarter. Maybe that a the business Well go into. A you still Sec someone paddling a Canoe on a Lake or River once in a while but i Haven to seen anyone rowing a boat in years. The Basic flaw in a Rowboat has always been that you can to see where you re going.
