Well, I was trying to be sane in public. The actual line of reasoning that I found reassuring was "Well, if I had been a member of the Donner Party I would have spent the spring and summer walking from Missouri to the Rockies, so I would be in way better shape than this by the time I was trying to break out of a snow-bound mountain pass on foot. Too bad this would have made my all-lean-muscle corpse so much less nutritious for everyone else if I did freeze to death."
Umph. Idly thinking that it would be funny to write a time travel romance in which the protagonist does not end up in Scotland, but as a member of the Donner party.
Well, I don't think tacky would be the problem so much as no one wants to read a time travel romance that ends with the heroine watching her friends eat her husband's heart less than an hour after he dies in her arms of hypothermia and starvation.

But, somebody would probably find this tacky.
