But... but...
I don't DO historical AUs!
But it's funny what comes into one's head during a six hour drive (including a miserable hour going virtually nowhere.)
I've got this whole post-WWI road trip idea that would just take WAY too much research... but I do like research. *g*
Jack's driving to Denver for a job and picks up a hitchhiker, who's also headed for Denver.
Yeah, I'll have to do a little research just to see if my ideas are feasible, or if my dates are off.
I mean, what year would it have to be for a teenage boy to build a crystal radio set and wow everybody with the spiffy new technology. What could he pick up on it?
What kind of beat up old car would Jack be driving in that year, and what would the roads be like? How much other automobile traffic? I'm pretty sure there were already auto clubs and maybe they gave out road maps?
Did Americans really fly with the Royal Air Corps before 1917, or am I imagining that part?
Dammit. *g*

Left all my bookmarks on Dad's computer, though. *sighs* Oh, well, Google will find them all again if I need them. There were a couple of helpful books at his house, too. And Dad was very helpful with discussing Model Ts! And talked about a road trip one of his uncles took around that time which gave me a few ideas. :-)
Some of my scribbles: Versailles, rolling cigarettes, silent movie, Prohibition, Flit, road signs.
