Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. My travels started when I was walking in the mountains of New Mexico. Suddenly, I stumbled on a rock and fell flat on my face. When I got up and dusted myself off, I found myself staring at a door cut into the rock. Curious, I touched the door and it opened up! Inside were fantastic machines, although the structure was empty of people. As I investigated, I found a strange chamber with two pads set about five feet apart. I stood between them, and rested my palms on the pads. A strange electricity coursed through my body, and a surrealistic wind started up. Suddenly, I wasn't in New Mexico anymore!
2. Disoriented, I found myself in the largest state of the union. Looking in the mirror, I saw a handsome man in his mid-thirties. A much older man with while hair comes into the room and says to me, "Are you ready, Dad?" Dad?! I must be half this guy's age! Uh oh, time to go!
3. Where am I? Whew! It's hot here! The terrain is mostly desert, with beautiful plateaus. A Spanish man approaches me on a horse and says, "Hola, Senor Cannon." I must be in the old southwest! Yeehaw! Here I go again!
4. Boy, this is really turning into a wild ride! Now, I'm in a dark warehouse, with a gun in my hands. I can't see my face, but there's an African-American man next to me. He's strapping, good-looking, and bald. He's toting a huge Magnum in his hands. Suddenly, a shot rings out, and the big man shouts, "Spensah!" The weird feeling I get before I travel in time comes over me as I realize I'm in Boston.
5. Now this is what I call time travel! I seem to be on a tropical island! Cool! A nice-looking man with red hair and beard walks out of the house, onto the veranda. He hands me an iced tea and says, "Good afternoon, Leilani. How's the teaching going?" Oh boy, I'm a girl! I know this one, and I'm a hot Hawaiian chick! Man, that tea looks so good...
6. Man, I really wanted to stay on that veranda! Oh well, where am I now? Huh, everything looks bigger than normal and I seem to be in some sort of prison! Two giants come into the room! No, wait, I get it...I'm a baby in a crib, and those giants are my mom and dad! Mom comes over and picks me up out of my crib and says, "Look, sweetie, isn't your daddy the best advertising man in Connecticut?" I'm a little slow catching on (perhaps my thought processes are baby-sized also!), but just before I wink out, mom twitches her nose and a teddy bear appears!
7. Oh, I'm back in an adult body! Too bad, I kind of liked being a baby! Okay, looking around, I'm in a rustic house. Looking out the window, I don't see cars, or street lights, and the roads are hilly, and pure mud! Huge evergreen trees are everywhere, and I notice logging paraphernalia, such as axes, buckboards loaded with logs, and lumberjacks sloshing through the mud. I can also smell the ocean. I realize I can also see my reflection in the window. I'm an older, pleasantly plump woman. A young man comes into the house. "I'm r-r-r-ready t-t-to t-t-take you to t-t-t-town now, Mizz Lottie." I realize I'm in the Pacific Northwest as I take his arm....and leap again!
8. I land in the new time/space and immediately trip over an ottoman someone has carelessly left in the middle of a modest, suburban living room in New York. Four people rush to my aid: a beautiful brunette, a tough looking blonde woman, a short, dumpy guy, and a little boy. Ah! This is an easy one!
9. Oh no, I can't see anything! What's that? It's cold and clammy...and furry, and...oh! It's a dog's nose! I get it, this time I'm blind! But, my other senses are supremely heightened. The air smells musty and moldy. And, it's humid. I feel the sweat trickling down my neck. Hmmm, a sweet smell of perfume. The dog barks as I hear the click, click of heels on hardwood floor. "Hush, Pax, it's just me," a woman's voice cajoles. The sound of Dixieland jazz filters through the window. I must be in New Orleans.
10. Okay, I'm ready to take a rest. This place looks restful. I'm back in the old west, Texas Territory. I'm sitting around a campfire with other cowboys. By the light of the fire, I can see sagebrush throwing eerie shadows on the desert. A coyote howls in the distance, and a herd of cattle nearby low nervously. A young, tough-looking cowboy with squinty eyes calls to me, "Hey, Mushy, pass them beans!" Ah, this is the life!
