7/3/13

Wednesday July 3, 2013  Opening of work in progress; first draft or zero draft:

"Of course you're a witch.  You're an atheist, aren't you?"  Miranda Afterland smiled, to show she didn't really believe that superstition.

Chane Mardon shook his head.  "I'm an agnostic.  I neither believe or disbelieve in any gods."

"That's even better!  Someone who doesn't even believe in atheism must have really powerful magic.  Look; all you have to do is give obscure answers to questions about the future.  I'll interpret what you say.  And we both get paid."

***Shopped at the Wedge and Steeple People Thrift Store.  Picked up prescription meds at HealthPartners Riverside.

Bad news: you probably won't be able to be revived from the NSA's records of you.

Which sparked a story idea I probably won't use.  Given sufficiently advanced technology, it would be possible to reconstruct someone from surveillance records.  ("Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic."  Arthur C. Clarke.)
