Not All Time Travelers Want or Need Accessories (Who was St. Remedius? And why is a medical college named after him?) A completely understandable supposition about time travel, forward or backward, is that travel is only possible with mechanical, magical, or psychotronic assistance. True, this helps consistent travel, but some sentients have absolutely no need or want of technology or thaumaturgy to visit new times. To use the obsolete and inadequate metaphor of…

St. Remedius Radio: “The Cult of the Cane Toad”
Worship, Do Not Worship: The Toad Cares Not (Who was St. Remedius? And why is a medical college named after him?) Contrary to popular perception, the city of Dallas, Texas has always maintained a deep respect for religions of all kinds…so long as they paid proper tribute to the one true god of the Dallasites.

Most of the…

Popular perception versus reality, and popular perception is a lot less messy (Who was St. Remedius? And why is a medical college named after him?) One of the greatest outreach projects ever conducted by the St. Remedius Medical College involved its annual “Identify Your Spaceship” open house. Much like natural history museums offering a day of paleontologists happy or at least willing to give a positive ID to possible fossils, St. Remedius technologists…
