Recently my good friend mantis--who grew *me* from a bean--recently posed
these questions about Pluto, the cemetary cat (no doubt influenced by his
enormous Siegfield & Roy poster collection):

My assumption was that a military garrison outside Vienne, between it and
the harbor, is where all the "real-time" interludes take place in V.R.T.,
i.e., being home to the junior officer, Cassilla, the sold outsourced Wolfe
clone, et al.

Wouldn't be the first time I bollixed up my fictional geography should this
turn out to be wrong.

(Pssst.) You're getting warmer...
