There was a Larry Niven short story about how fog can act as a boundary between universes (allowing the main character to get rich by "inventing" the stapler). Did you find out how long the construction company was in that suite? Perhaps last month the temp agency finally closed their office, after having two offices open for years. Also, don't discount the possiblity of other actors beside yourself. Maybe your roommate or someone changed the bag in your pocket as a favor. Is anyone else using the bikes? Was it the same bike? You said there were two. Maybe you switched to the non-torn bike without realizing it? There's also the possibility that you changed the bag yourself, and then purged that memory. -- Matt _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
