1877- I was curious as to why Edinburgh University wanted be to go to Doyle 1st year instead of 2nd year when he served as Dr. Bell's Clerk.5:52 PM Apr 10th from web

1877- Checked notes again. History says Doyle was clerk in 1878, but that meant school year. It's OCTOBER 1877 which means this IS 2nd year.5:56 PM Apr 10th from web

1877 - I thought it was odd Arthur Conan Doyle helped Dr. Joseph Bell carry his stuff out of classroom. Thought he was just being polite.5:59 PM Apr 10th from web

1877 Edinburgh - Found restaurant serving kippers for breakfast. Think I'll go to beach today, even if October is not prime seaside season.7:08 AM Apr 11th from web

1877 Edinburgh - Caught horse-drawn tram to Leith. Tramway 6 years old but expanding quickly. Took uncovered upper deck. Cold but nice view.9:02 AM Apr 11th from web

1877 Edinburgh - Now in port town of Leith next door. Just had the most delicious fish & chips. Pity about cod being extinct back home.1:31 PM Apr 11th from web

1877 Leith - Exploring docks, taking pictures with glasses/camera. Bit of a rough neighborhood. Sometimes being unnoticed is a good thing.2:29 PM Apr 11th from web

1877 Leith - Asked old lady where the resort section of town was. She laughed her head off. Said Portobello to SE was where hoi polloi went.2:42 PM Apr 11th from web

1877 Leith- Think better get back to New Town, Edinburgh before sailors notice me in nice suit. Lower classes not dangerous if you're polite.2:50 PM Apr 11th from web

1877 Edinburgh - Time Travel tip - Never eat red & green frosting in the Victorian Age. Red is made with lead, green with Arsenic.10:29 PM Apr 11th from web

1877 - I had that dream again last night that I was kissing Dr. S.A. Brown, MOTHER of Time Travel. Hmmm, is there something Freudian here?6:48 AM Apr 12th from web

1877 - 24th Century super-genius inventor. I would love to go back in time and meet Dr. Serendipity Brown, but that would never be allowed.6:51 AM Apr 12th from web

1877 Edinburgh - Today to King's Park (now Hollyrood Park). Check up on Time Machine & then climb to Arthur's Seat. Take lunch in pockets.7:38 AM Apr 12th from web

1877 -Brisk today. Top Hat no good for hiking. I packed deerstalker cap. Yes, I know, trite considering current project but couldn't resist.7:42 AM Apr 12th from web 1877

1877 - Back from Hike. Time Machine okay. Not sure if that Research group borrowed it, the less I know about Enforcer business the better.4:26 PM Apr 12th from web

1877 Edinburgh - Hope no one tries to climb on that "boulder" and discover it feels just like a metal box. One drawback to holographic skin.4:27 PM Apr 12th from web

1877 Edinburgh - View from atop Arthur's Seat spectacular. Could see all of Edinburgh to north, eastward sea in distance. Well worth climb.4:32 PM Apr 12th from web

1877 Edinburgh - Think I'll make a spot of tea, read a little and go to bed. Very tired from hike. I'm no longer a kid of forty, you know.8:38 PM Apr 12th from web

1877 Edinburgh - Problem with the name Howe is when someone asks "how", I don't know if they are asking a question or calling for me.7:58 PM Apr 13th from web

1877 Edinburgh - My first name, Wendell, is worse. People either call me "Wen Howe" or "When-Dull." Really hate that, even if it does fit.8:01 PM Apr 13th from web

1877 Edinburgh - Must slip out before widow next door sees me. Nice lady but can't marry, date or even chat. Can't influence past in any way7:35 AM Apr 14th from web

1877 Edinburgh - If she sees me must act like muttonhead. Don't want her to find me at all attractive. Don't want to hurt her feelings.7:40 AM Apr 14th from web

1877 - Makes me wish I could back to the 21st Century. I'm sure Gilbert & Sullivan would have loved to have had Susan on staff.9:47 AM Apr 14th from web

1877 Edinburgh - 1700's you could go into Bedlam and laugh at the patients chained up. I can't just go in here without a good reason.1:30 PM Apr 16th from web

1877 - So much proverty & misery in 1800's. We know because it was Victorians themselves who pointed it out. They were 1st to try to fix it.1:36 PM Apr 16th from web
