Fossils On Mars
I have a buyer for my house. I've signed the agreement, but he has a ten day option period where he can back out in case his inspector finds something wrong with it. Please, please, knock on wood (my head) don't let this fall through. If all goes well, we close on the 19th.
The Mars rovers are doing fantastic and I visit the site at least once a day to see what their latest adventures are. Well, adventure is a strong word for it. Everything happens so slow. They drive in a straight line then prepare for the next day. They move their tools in position and then wait for the next day. They grind a rock and then wait for the next day. Come on, JPL, pick up the pace a bit, will ya?
And you know, the one thing we ALL want is for the rovers to find a fossil. Where's all the fossils? Come on, something ... anything. Petrified wood. Petrified lichen. Anything! We're not asking for a dinosaur here. Just a taste, just a hint. Some tantalizing bit to galvanize humanity into building a spaceship and flying out there personally.
Ah well, enough rambling. I'm off to go do some more work on the old house.
