I still needed time to get acclimated to this world. From what I could tell the past few days I was here, it was very similar to my homeworld, dnot like most of the world's I've seen.

Looking through some papers, my duplicate's house was financed by a home loan from Washington Mutual; the monthly mortgage payment was about $2,500.

It had been one and a half years since I had to worry about things like mortgage payments.
