   Inane Construction Supply Marquee âTruismâ of the Week: âWisdom comes
   with age. Sometimes age comes aloneâ.
   Last week went by surprisingly fast. It is the height of allergy
   season in Southern California, and it was affecting me quite a bit and
   crippling my energy levels. Somehow, I donât think I can blame that
   for spontaneously creating a âmash-upâ in my head of âThese Boots Were
   Made for Walkingâ and âSecret Agent Manâ on my morning commute. No
   idea.
   Putting âAnother Load of Qualityâ on your cargo truck would have been
   clever before Dilbert became well established. Now, you just get the
   feeling it was coined by some PHB who just didnât see the ironic
   aspect.
   Sci-fi is rarely done well in the medium of television. For every
   modern âBattlestar Galacticaâ there is a âStarhunterâ or âAndromedaâ.
   While the genre may be a bit passé now, it was always kind of
   surprising that no one ever took a stab at the cyberpunk/Blade Runner
   dystopian realm. Until now. Enter [1]Charlie Jade. When trying to
   conceptualize a show of this type, I never envisioned one involving
   three parallel universes and set in South Africa. But it makes perfect
   sense, is unlike anything Iâve seen, and it may never air in the US.
   Figures.
