It's a book written in the 1960s that was one of my favorites as a kid. It's been adapted into a couple of films, the most recent being in the early 90s. Essentially the story of two dogs and a cat that can talk to each other traversing the Canadian wilderness to find their humans.

edit: I got to wondering about the exact dates, so here's some links in case anyone is interested:

1961 book, The Incredible Journey

1963 film, The Incredible Journey

1993 film, Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey

I can't tell if this is a reference to The Incredible Journey or if you haven't read/seen it.

This is it for me. I like that a multiplayer world is something dynamic I'm a part of even when I'm not interacting with it directly.

As someone who recently switched to days after more than 15 years on night shift, if my new position wasn't exponentially better in every way I'd go back to nights in a heartbeat.

That's a good point and, in retrospect, the multilevel is almost better for the comparison as the people are also multilevel.

I haven't seen the term gleeking in decades. Growing up in the 80s it was a skill to be mastered.

It isn't just affecting education, unfortunately. There's a number of topics (e.g. human rights, equality, etc) that society has become more enlightened about and that they'd like to revert.

Interesting. Thanks for the explanation.
