If you were sent back in time 1,000 years, how would you prove that you're from the future?
Tami's answer: I wouldn't. I'd try to stay an observer. I've seen enough movies to know what happens when you mess around with time travel.

8/20/26 Rotary Off the Cuff: Carrie Funk & Mark Barnes
What is your favorite talent?
Carrie: My favorite talent in other people is performance of any sort. As far as my talent, I am not entirely sure I have one.
Mark: Aww jeez, stargazing.
Who taught you to juggle and why, or can you juggle?
Carrie: I absolutely cannot juggle.
Mark: I was inspired at the Furniture Market by a friend of mine who brought his juggling gear and taught me then and sparked it. I still juggle. I even have juggling chickens, which are like rubber chickens, but I haven’t done it in a while. Maybe on December 17th at the talent show you will see that.
What is your favorite circus animal?
Carrie: I like elephants.
Mark: Monkeys
