Red-
I haven't heard from you in a while. What are you up to? Have you indeed become a man of the soil? Have you been eaten by giant robots? What's your story?

Hello Friend!
Since you are always so interested in "future history" as you call it, and given your occupation, I thought you might enjoy this tidbit I found. I'm posting it as a blog entry as I thought your readership may enjoy it as well.
In our last e-mail bout, we discussed technologies that are in your time, budding and in my time, commonplace. We had a rather heated discussion about Teleportation. I was surprised at the amount of literature on the subject by yearly right-wing oppositionists.
Many on the religious right argued that Teleportation for humans was immoral, as the science of the time was looking mainly at options dealing with simultaneously breaking down an object at point "A" and reconstructing an exact duplicate at point "B". As the human soul is not a finite constructable object, it would be impossible to rebuild a human with a soul, therefore a person would either die a kind of spirit-death on the spot or perhaps spend the afterlife wandering the libo of earth.
The political climate of the time being what it was, research was all but abandoned. The government pulled all of it's funding for research, save one branch. At the time, the United States Post Office was allowed to run as an independent business. It put a significant portion of its resources toward research and development in the field of Teleportation. As the Postal Service already refused to participate in the trasportaion of live humans, they saw this not as a moral issue, but a business oportunity.
The rest was the stuff of anicdote and bad movies, two questionable gradstudents building on the vast amount of research already present, stumbled upon the "secret of teleportation" while at the lab late at night stealing bunson burners and Earlenmyer Flasks to construct waterpipes for extra spending money. Or so the legegend says. That last part comes from a comment posted to a celebrity gossip e-column. Take from that what you will.
Hope all is will with you. Still living in Grand Junction. Almost Spring. Going to try my hand at fieldwork if the weather permits. No other real news.

I'm Sorry
Joe-
I'm sorry to have put you and your readers on hold. For a while I had no intention of posting again on this blog. To be honest I was disillusioned by e-mailing with you. Imagine finding out all the things that captivated you when you were growing up were a lie. Imagine being a sports fanatic and historian and finding out that Dustin Pedroia wasn't real. Someone made him up.
Imagine devoting your life to a single, obscure study and finding out that everything you've worked so long to piece together consisted chiefly of miscommunications and bad logic. For several days after our conversation I was depressed. However, your time, my time's "past," is still of great interest to me. Instead of giving up I thought maybe I could learn from you, or your readers, if only through conversation, about how things really were, if you're willing.
It also occurs to me that you could be an invaluable resource. In my time, books are rare. The destruction of trees for paper was long ago deemed unethical. As such, books are a rare commodity. Access to the internet is routed through Psystems. Since I removed my cerebral implant, I am untraceable, a ghost in their system, but as a result, when viewing the cyberscape, it's as if I'm looking through a shattered mirror.
However, I have a direct connection to your blog, and you have the ability to access cyberspace uninhibited. Your interest, your help, and your friendship are all appreciated, Joe. I'm alone in a cold world. And it's nice to have somebody to talk with.
Grateful,
Red5

Okay...
Assuming I believe you, which I'm not saying I do, but we'll run with it for a minute, there are some things you'll have to explain-
1. What is Project P
2. Why would you run a query for both God and Robotics??
3. What makes you think my time period knows the secrets of teleportation or time travel
4. What is P(+3)
5. Elaborate on "terminate your biofeed".
Most importantly-
What the heck does Jesus have to do with Yggsdrasil?

Please Help
I do not know you. I do not even know if my decision to link myself to this blog was a wise one. Hopefully, it has a high readership and at least a small amount of political influence. Since many of our records have been lost I'm not sure how much you or your readers know about Project P, or advanced robotics, but it is well known that web logs, "Blogs," were highly influential in the beginning of the Second Millennium.
This being the case, I've decided to take a substantial risk and contact you via computer. It is known that you, people of your generation and time, had many secrets that are now lost to us: time travel and teleportation/translocation. We, what's left of our race, need you, need your help.
Running a partial query for blogs originating on the west coast with keywords of both "God" and "Robot" has led me here. The teaching of the deity called only "God" are known to me, though only in part, as all data relating to the mythology have been destroyed or have been classified restricted by P(+3). I do know that the one known as God protected humans, and sent an aspect of himself, known as Son or Jesus, in human form to water Yggsdrasil with his blood, and fight back the Earth Serpent. It is also clear that this deity had Knights in his service to maintain order, and right the errors of regular men. For this reason I have sought you out.
I can not post on here my given name or idcode, as it is possible Psystems may terminate my biofeed. But I am located in what was probably, before, a highrise living complex in Grand Junction, Colorado, near River Rd. I have not had time to fully explore this building, but my e-sensor says this is a high static zone. So, right now I'm safe from anything that isn't groundwired.
Please, if you're reading this, respond. Let me know my efforts aren't a waste of time. I have programmed all responses on this blog to be transmitted directly to my idcode. It will be almost like what they used to call e-mail. Crude, but, in a pinch...Ha!
