I saw a man riding this intricate mobile sculpture thinking maybe he's some kind of whacked-out old fashion knife sharpener.
Turns out he's Prof. Gustave Morbeus.
Gustave explained to me with great patience and detail how his time machine was built and the philosophy that goes with it. This Time Machine does not travel to the past or the future, it is set in the present because the past is gone, the future hasn't happened yet and well the present, that's where the action is.
