A Steampunk Daydream

I wish I lived in a Steampunk world, full of steampunk everything! There would be a mix of castles, burned down Victorian buildings and industrial guts, bricks and decay everywhere. The attire would be Victorian with industrial preparations, in case of the building collapsed or a bomb or meteor came from nowhere, (so goggles, gun belts and tourniquets would be as essential as underwear). The weather would be a perfect mix of gloomy, overcast 75 degrees all year round, (with brilliant magenta sunsets of course.)

The main occupation would be time travel. So when you got sick the doctor would send you back in time to correct the problem before it even began. Television would be unamusing compared to theatre, opera and social events. Grand masquerades would be the traditional way to celebrate holidays.
What a decadent vision... maybe one day.
