If you could live in any time/era...

...which would it be?

Mine: the 1900s-1920s, mostly because there was so much discovery to be done by common men and still uncharted terrain left in the world. To actually see the golden age of flight, the time of the dirigible, Alberto Santos-Dumont haphazardly ballooning around Paris and then competing with the Wright Brothers for the first powered flight, as well as the dawn of radio and the time when steam locomotives ruled the land...

...and there was something about that minor influenza bug that went around and something about a skirmish in Europe, but I'm sure none of that would have been a big deal.

Okay, so maybe I'm certain the average life would have been a lot less fulfilling and enjoyable than the romanticized version. "A great place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there...?"
