RUING!!! R I M I N G ! ! ! ' M I N G ! ! !
Too early on a chilly January morning, I was jarred awake by
the noxious blaring of my traitorous doorbell. As I moved to accost
the unknown aggressor, wit h t h e full f o rce o f semi-conscious
wrath, I pulled on my robe a n d lost my dignity to the pain of a
stubbed toe. No w fully awake, I opened the door, p re p a re d to
educate the mysterious interloper on the me a n in g of manners.
My determination to this end was somewhat shattered when I saw
two la rg e men cla d in long overcoats a n d wid e -b rimme d hats.
Instinctively. I trie d t o sla m th e door. My re tre a t to safety wa s
denied b y the a d va n ce of the strangers. Before I co u ld protest
their entry, my vision was drawn to the shining silver badges that
hung fro m their n o w unfolded wallets. They we re government
agents.
Hesitantly, tryin g t o re me mb e r a n y crime s th a t I h a d e ve r
committed, I in vite d t h e m in t o m y h o me . A t th e ir request, I
produced my driver's license a n d other forms of identification.
After examining these credentials, they asked me to pack a b a g
for an extended journey, After some protest and argument, I was
ma d e to understand that my options in this matter were less than
limited. M y co u n t ry n e e d s m e , t h e y sa id —with t h e c l e a r
implication that either I p a ck a n d dress o r I take an extended
journey in my robe.
This is how my adventure began. From my cold apartment, I
was taken to a to we rin g ve h icle for a n e me rg e n cy mission to
Jupiter. My very life on the line and, possibly, the survival of the
planet Earth as well, and only God knows what other kind of perils
await.
