Yesterday, Instapundit linked<\/a> to someone doing a takedown of someone tut-tutting Heinlein<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I read it and scanned the comments and something leapt out at me<\/a>:<\/p>\n

I happen to be reading \u201cTramp Royal\u201d at the moment; Heinlein\u2019s memoirs of a trip around the world by cargo liner which he and Ticky (as he consistantly calls his wife) took in 1954. His travels unquestionably made him more worldly. Even today I doubt the average reader of \u201cOutside\u201d magazine has made it to Tristan de Cunha or the black market currency exchange of Djakarta.<\/p>\n

One interesting quote \u2013 when discussing the effect of cultural differences on their dealings with a customs inspector (Ticky pulled a dumb stunt later echoed by Podkayne\u2019s brother), he speaks of being a \u201cstranger in a strange land\u201d which would be a pretty good title for a science fiction story.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The name leapt out at me: Triticale gave me the Commodore 128 I currently have and a box of miscellaneous computer stuff that he cleaned out of his garage five years ago. I didn’t meet him in person, as he was in the Milwaukee area and I was not, but I got the stuff through an intermediary (my brother, briefly a blogger himself<\/a> in 2005).<\/p>\n

Triticale’s name leapt out at me because he passed away four years ago<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Instapundit’s been doing these archive posts of his lately, but this one didn’t mention it was going to the archives. Instead, it just sort of sucked me back.<\/p>\n
