Greetings faithful readers. Thanks for being here. I mentioned last week that I’d share a visit with Mary “Dusty” Waters. Tomorrow I’m visiting her in the senior center here in Harappa City.
Like many refined ladies Dusty has been reticent about revealing her true age but it is suspected that she is at least one hundred and thirty years old. Most folks who eat good Kushan food and avoid too much Oodo live to one-fifty. I’m thinking I wont get that far. My friend Dorian might but the sad truth is that Max Gavaskar wont. She is not expected to live out this year and she is not even one hundred yet.
I’ve heard that all the spaceflight Max did has harmed her cells. All the best doctors from all around the galaxy have been consulted and there is nothing for her. As much as she gave to the Milky Way it is just a crime that we can’t give back to her.
We’ll have our visit with Max in a few weeks but tomorrow we’ll meet an old friend of Max’s from before she was known as the Mother of the Galaxy.
Dusty is an old Earther but lives here in Harappa City now. Tomorrow we’ll visit her and share some tall tales from our youth.
Never Mix red wine and Oodo.

Kushan Year 88
Earth Year 2480
