I'm glad our maneuvering didn't disturb your concentration!

Relax. We're still orbiting. We have to grab some more Martian atmosphere to fill our tanks before we go scooting off anywhere else.

You can see more of the planet from up here anyway.

That's a very magnanimous position to take.

I opined to someone last week that, despite my own take on it, I thought it would be just like God to have made reality be some blend of old/young that would leave everyone on both sides totally humiliated at how wrong they got it.

""Mars ain't the kind of place to raise a kid,""

You can, if you live in a really nice neighborhood.

I'm fine. Debating on when I should go to bed. It's too early for it now - especially on a Saturday night. But I was working outdoors most of the day (yes, even though it was near 100 degrees, but we started early), and I'm starting to get drowsy.

I am back in L. A. for a few days, and it was 104 today where I was. Might as well be in AZ : )

"Returning after 5 day suspension. Still crazy after all these years."

I counted only three days. Did you get time off your time off for good behavior?

I think it was for this posting, the Pander Man Song.

You signed it as Sammy Davis Banker. You can get in trouble for using a fake name.

There were a lot of places around the country that had temperatures in the 90s to 100s. I had heard it was 115 degrees somewhere in the Dakotas.

"It" can happen. More specifically, in the context of the lyrics:
You can fool yourself
You can cheat until you're blind
You can cut your heart
It can happen

But wait, there's more!

You can mend the wires
You can feed the soul apart
You reach
It can happen to you
It can happen to me
It can happen to everyone eventually

NOW how much would you pay? Well, don't answer 'til you see THIS:

It's a constant fight
A constant fight
You're pushing the needle to the red
Black and white
Who knows who's right
No substitute you're born you're dead
Fly by night
Created out of fantasy
Our destination calls
Look up -- look down
Look out -- look around
Look up -- look down
It's a crazy world outside
We're not about to lose our pride

"... I thought it would be just like God to have made reality be some blend of old/young that would leave everyone on both sides totally humiliated at how wrong they got it."

Actually, what you have missed is the incredibly long period of time -- before the Big Bang -- that convinced God that it might be a good idea to create us.
