Do Blobs on Phoenix Lander Indicate Water on Mars? – NYTimes.com.
This is real interesting. It looks like water to my untrained eye. Let’s go look and see for ourselves!

I posted 187 covers of the vintage Sci-Fi Magazine called “Wonder Stories” on my flicker account. I love these covers, the art was so fantastic and designed , like all covers, to get you to buy it. I think it would be fun to use these covers in a writing class as an inspiration tool. Have each student write a short story inspired by a cover. Just click on the right on the flicker icon or follow this link:

These Japanese snacks are actually called “Sea Otter Boogers” and apparently are quite tasty treats made of candied black beans. 
They’re yours for only about $6, of course, you have to speak Japanese to order them.

Just finished watching President Obama’s speech. I think his three priorities are exactly what this country needs to focus on right now. I have felt strongly for the last 20 years that education, energy, and healthcare must be our top priorities. We will be left behind if we do not prepare for the next stage in world development. I have lost my patience with that old “Govt is bad” line of thinking. People are bad, not organizations. Just look at what a mess the private sector has made of things so far. Let Bernie Ebbers, Enron, Madoff, R. Allen Stanford, (this list goes on and on) run things?
No thank you I’ve lost too much as it is. Time for new management and new rules.
Well here I go, yet again. I’ve moved my domain to a new hosting comapany. In addition I thought I’d give Wordpress a try. So far so good. Well back to the set up process. More Later. Z
