@Frank Apisa,
												I suppose you sci fi hoper types need an armanda'd enemy to work against. I'm here now.
I'm mildly interested in the universe, but mostly I can't see it (ok, the moon and sun) and will listen to science as it happens.
A friend and I got a flat tire in the Mohave around 3 am as trucks roared by.  Long story, told here before (there was a second flat and her car was an old porshe, semi maintained), but my pal the driver (she was introducing me to skiing) exclaimed about the stars.  I couldn't see them.  That was my first clue that I am night blind.  The first people to help us were some guys that noticed us in a coffee shop. Or maybe noticed her car. But she was blonde. Double interest. The trucks trucked on.
I wasn't all gung ho on sci fi before that, but still read some.  I just have never been all that interested in fantasy of many types.  Conjecture, sure.  Give me a paragraph.
Hope for aliens?
Please, I have some wee hope for our earthlings and their stories.
Some of the earthlings will be needing food.
