What is the carbon footprint for time travel? How can Greta travel all the way from the 1800s, yet not be able to make it overseas?

My husband was in Frankie & Johnnie’s years ago with a date (pre-marriage!) Sinatra was seated at the bar. As they left the restaurant, Sinatra smiled widely at the date and scowled evilly at my husband. And my husband is still a huge fan, lol.

Just before the photo was taken, one of the little boys tossed a food wrapper on the ground.
