Ok I had this weird dream about being at the beach, a very specific beach, and then running into scuba divers in the water who were very anachronistic and they ask me to follow them to this calm eddy that is hidden from most beach goers. Once there they explain they're time travelers /

I find it odd how many of my daughter's teachers go by "Mrs."
It seems so anachronistic. It's an honorific I never once considered using.

Late Odyssey opinion, but: IDK if many modern readers are able to read Greek myth or legend without corrupting it with their own, anachronistic ideas of divinity.

Goodness, for example, as a feature of the divine, misses the mark entirely.
