"Middle Earth?", thought Muffy. "But, I've never been there. I wonder what exciting adventures await me?"

Muffy activated her in-eye internet portal. She used her right eye. Left-eye for browsing, right-eye for detailed research. Of course.

"Hmmm ... let's see ... The Lord of the Rings trilogy took place in Middle Earth. Well, heck. I knew that. Everybody knows that. It was a film of epic apparitions (or something like that). Oh, but wait ... here it says that the movies were filmed in New Zealand."

So, Muffy switched to her left-eye internet portal and began browsing the New Zealand site.

newzealand.com

She passed the remaining flight time away, reviewing film clips of the various New Zealand attractions where portions of the film(s) were ... uh ... you know ... filmed.

Mentally clicking on "Nature", she was immediately treated to a full screen movie clip of New Zealand's ... well ... nature. She mentally clicked on "Climate and Weather", then "Fauna", and others. Just when she was beginning to tire of all the beautiful scenery, she mentally clicked on "Flora".

"Whoa!", thought Muffy. "I thought we were going to see an abundance of fascinating native plants found nowhere else on earth but New Zealand, but instead I find glamour shots of some well endowed gal named Flora."

Muffy mentally clicked on "Action", then sat through the full motion video of Flora and 3 island males "dancing". "Whoa! Check that out!", thought Muffy. "I've never seen THAT move before!". The movie's climax (ahem ...) left Muffy wanting more. More what, you ask? Well, just ... "more". But, where would she find "more" up here in a plane?

She turned around in her plane seat and zero'd in on SI(Bob). "Were those rumours true", she wondered?

[Editor's note: 707 ... a plane grub]
