dors seemed amused. "meteorology?"

seldon said, "yes. theres work scheduled for tomorrow and ill go up with them."

"are you tired of history?"

seldon nodded his head somberly. "yes, i am. ill welcome the change. besides, randy says its another problem thats too massive for mathematics to handle and it will do me good to see that my situation isnt unique."

"i hope youre not agoraphobic."

seldon smiled. "no, im not, but i see why you ask. randy says that trantorians are frequently agoraphobic and wont go upperside. i imagine they feel uncomfortable without a protective enclosure ..."dors nodded. "you can see where that would be natural, but there are also many trantorians who are to be found among the planets of the galaxy--tourists, administrators, soldiers. and agoraphobia isnt particularly rare in the outworlds either."

"that may be, dors, but im not agoraphobic. i am curious and i welcome the change, so ill be joining them tomorrow."

dors hesitated. "i should go up with you, but i have a heavy schedule tomorrow. and, if youre not agoraphobic, youll have no trouble and youll probably enjoy yourself. oh, and stay close to the meteorologists. ive heard of people getting lost up there."

"ill be careful. its a long time since ive gotten truly lost anywhere."
