Killing time in rain-splotched London until Tony Takitani, I remembered that Adam suggested that if I found myself without anything to do, I should shop for moonbeams.
I found lunar globes, adorned with the moon's pretty names of maria, such as the Sea That Has Become Known, the Lake of Time, the Sea of Rains. I found books filled with many pictures of the moon at different stages and postcards of night skies with bright stars, but there seemed to be no moonbeams or guides to where I could purchase moonbeams. I did find a £94 Dictionary of Minor Planet Names though, which described why the minor planets were named as they were, but not how I could actually get to any of those planets. Linux, Tea, Nostalgia, Beer, ASCII, Cheshirecat, Wisdom, London, NOT. I imagine these planets would be the kind of places that would appear at the top of the Faraway Tree. Have you ever been to any of these planets?
