A parallel universe is a hypothetical self-contained separate reality co-existing with one's own. A specific group of parallel universes is called a "multiverse", although this term can also be used to describe the possible parallel universes that constitute reality. While the terms "parallel universe" and "alternative reality" are generally synonymous and can be used interchangeably in most cases, there is sometimes an additional connotation implied with the term "alternative reality" that implies that the reality is a variant of our own. The term "parallel universe" is more general, without any connotations implying a relationship, or lack of relationship, with our own universe. A universe where the very laws of nature are different – for example, one in which there are no Laws of Motion – would in general count as a parallel universe but not an alternative reality and a concept between both fantasy world and earth.

The actual quantum-mechanical hypothesis of parallel universes is "universes that are separated from each other by a single quantum event."

Original Caption: Train passengers bound for St. Louis, Missouri, board a chartered bus in Fort Worth, Texas. The Inter-American train from Laredo, Texas, reported only two of its six cars had air conditioning that worked and the temperature was in the high 90's. Old equipment and needed repairs to track and roadbed caused problems for Amtrak in the three years after its takeover of most U.S. intercity rail passenger service in 1971. The corporation is working to correct the deficiencies, June 1974

Taken at the Stockyard in Fort Worth, Texas.

A wall of color snapshots dating back to the earliest days of color photography. The oldest are nearest to the camera. The Amon Carter Museum, Ft. Worth, Texas, is currently showing a wonderful retrospective of color photography from inception to now. Well worth a visit if you are in the area. (It's free and they let you take pictures inside!)

You didn't think I would go to the gardens and not bring a doll, did you? ;p

Unfortunately, I didn't get but a couple of photos of Greta. There were surprisingly quite a few people at the gardens for a Tues. afternoon so I got shy about taking her out for photos. But I did manage to get a couple of good ones. :)
