You are listening to a Clarksville magazine podcast with your host and narrator Kate Baker.

Greetings Clarksville citizens. Welcome to the 4 story for the month of September 2024,

issue 216. I hope that this story, like all of our stories, finds you extraordinarily well.

And I want to thank you again for all of your support that you've shown this magazine.

Man, you guys have really come through in the last couple of months.

If you haven't yet supported the magazine,

please consider doing so. That's Patreon.com 4 slash Clarks World.

Or you can find out the other wonderful ways to support us by going to Clark's World Magazine.

And that is Clark with an e. And for those of you who have stepped up, we cannot

thank you enough. You are the lifeblood of this magazine. You keep us going

each and every month. So thank you for making that all possible.

So our story is titled How to Remember Perfectly and is by Eric Schweite Skeble.

Now Eric is a professor of philosophy at the University of California Riverside and author of

over a hundred academic articles in philosophy, psychology, and technology ethics. Histories have appeared in Clark's World F&SF Nature and The Dark,

and his op-eds in the Atlantic, Salon, Slate, and the Los Angeles Times.

If you think consciousness and cosmology are bizarre beyond human comprehension,

you will find your prejudices confirmed in his most recent non-fiction book,

The Weirdness of the World. He blogs Substax at The Splinter in Mind.

So my dear listener, I hope you can sit back, relax, and let me tell you a story.

Joy catches my eye, shuffles my direction.

Her face lights the dining room. Her curly gray hair is the sun's

Corona and she seems to float above her walker, needless of her stiff little legs.
