"We won't have the whole rest of our lives to do it, at some point coming airships are gonna get replaced by planes." He tries not to make that sound too grim, because he doesn't mean it to be. And if anything, the phasing out of airships is just more motivation to experience what being on one would be like before they go. He bets they've got a hell of a view.
If only he knew the actual date the phasing is going to happen. He should have thought to write the stories his parents told him down years ago, it would he saved them both a whole lot of time. But for stuff like this, he's pretty sure even his parents didn't know the exact dates. He and Sean will just have to guesstimate as best they can until he can remember any hard dates he was told.
"Don't worry, I'll make sure neither of us takes any kind of tar dip." Kyle promises this solemnly, but he's still very interested in going, having leaned forward with his face lit up when Sean mentioned dinosaurs and mammoths. He's thinking about it, deciding whether or not to ask, and then, "When you said they found mammoths and sabretooth tigers, did you mean entire skeletons? Or even bodies? Ma told me once that they found whole frozen mammoths up north somewhere, that back during the -- the 50s!" He exclaims it triumphantly, proud to finally have provided a date of some kind, "-- that back during the 50's there was even this great dinner in New York where rich guys sat around and ate mammoth meat. Not sure I'd wanna eat any meat if it came out of a tar pit, though."
