Data’s Uniform

Work, work, work, that’s what I’ve been doing. In-between spin cycles and Mister Hanky’s escapades, there are many hurry up and wait periods. During these down periods odd conversations can blossom. Jack Bauer once asked, “Which space ship would you want to be on?” This is indicative of the spacy and geeky conversation that range rats have. As near as I could tell, Mister Bauer wanted to be on them all, Enterprise, Serenity, you name it. While this conversation had the air of make-believe, it also revealed true dreams and aspirations. He asked me, “Would you join Star Fleet?” and was surprised when I said no. Bauer is young and I am old. Star Fleet’s mission to explore brave new worlds must be for the young.
