Sitting in a bench waiting for the bus.

I sometimes wonder wether the people going about their business on the streets could be time travelers. There'd be no way to tell since they would most likely attempt to blend in by wearing the fashionable garb appropriate to the times. If time travel ever becomes possible in the future at any one particular moment, then time no longer is a barrier unto them. We can't claim that time travelers can't come visit us because it's too soon, or it's not the right time, or whatever because immediately upon discovery and production of a feasible time travel machine then all time becomes a possibility for them. Our present becomes immediately riddles with possibility of a time traveler visiting our time. Why am I obsessed wit this? Well I think I just might have met a time traveler and it was such a bizarre, surreal experience that my brain can't let it go. It was an elderly white lady, yet she had no wrinkles, but you could tell she was old. She had silverish/brownish longish hair, and was wearing a green metallic tunic with very unusual patterns, nothing like we ever find in stores and they have never been fashionable that I know of so it must be hard to get one. She seemed extremely spiritually advanced, everything she spoke was very zen-like, very wise and was delivered in a relaxed, hypnotic, soothing tone. She seemed filled with scientific information which makes a lot of sense and is very logical yet I have not been able to verify because such things she spoke of have not been discovered by science yet. You don't know if the people you meet on the street are from this time or from another. At any rate, these are the people you meet as you are sitting in a bench waitingfor the bus.
