Welcome terrific readers. Thanks for being here.
Since I’ve come back from a short “stay-cation” I’ve been rambling on about some of the human worlds. We haven’t talked too much about the Homeworld.
As a Harappan I have often been at odds with the Earthers. I think most Harappans have in inborn distrust of anything connected to Earth. This is a pain who’s roots go very deep. I can, however, step back and appreciate the world for what it is, a beautiful planet.
The landscape of Earth is as dramatic as any livable world. Of course many of the uninhabited worlds have dramatic landscapes as a result of the forces that make them unlivable.
For a planet with a strong atmosphere the mountains on Earth are quite lovely. Earth has an exceptionally diverse ecosystem and has many of the environments that other alien species live in. You can find almost anything you like on Planet Earth. Deserts, it’s got ‘em. Oceans, yep. Mountains aplenty and grand river systems as fine as anywhere.
Some Kushans and Earthers will get into a friendly debate about which planet is most beautiful. I hear the Earth sky is a lovely shade of blue but there is no way it can compare with the Kushan sky. Kusha might not have the grand mountain ranges that Earth has but has much more farmable land.
These kinds of arguments are silly in their way. How can you compare a rose with a tulip? A tellon berry from an apple? Still, we have these impossible debates and we enjoy debating something that can not be debated.
As long as this is done over a mug of cider or cold beer.
Never mix red wine and Oodo.
