If you live in Seattle, a trip to the Greenwood Space Travel Supply Co. (826 Seattle) will not fail to delight. You can stock up on essentials such as family sized cans of Replacement Quarks, Dark Matter, Certainty, and of course Uncertainty (an Evergreen favorite). Access to the Writing Center is via transporter, by permission of the chief engineer.
