All over the internet recently, sciFy vs. reality and a Mars satellite for petty cash:
That breaks the monopoly. Faced with the spectre of other nations publishing uncensored Mars images, NASA and JPL have started publishing some much more obvious images than they have in the past including a totally uncensored video (JPL) showing large-scale structure.
A few items...

Set in Searchlight and starring... ;-)
I saw him maybe four days ago playing with something on the farm road on the other side of the Eastern field of purple loosestrife that is now brown. Don't know what it was but it looked at the time like he was eating it. He hasn't been out since, and he started acting sick the next day.
The sun is now out (after hiding behind gray things) so I'm going to take an exploritory... He mostly wants to sleep, has not been eating, doesn't drink much (not good), and when he used the litter box last night the urine smelled really strange ...
James Arness!
Antifreeze is the first thing that comes to my mind. If you can, get him to the vet for charcoal before the kidneys shut down.
Very sorry about your kitty!
Bob, I just wanted you to know how secure and well-befriended I’ve been feeling today, knowing that a spider is never far away. Sometimes I feel alone, but now I know better!
Spiders??? Not for at least 10 days, when the pest control company was here, last.
So I am comfortable. Until just before their next visit.
Great minds think alike. I was considering something similar, like a vampire bat. Not only do they lower your blood pressure, but they also give you hugs.
*LIKE*
I guess I slept through that part. Thank you.
Granted the guy is a slimy reprobate. However, The Creator probably gets ticked off at me for being spiteful and laughing up my sleeve about tire tracks and such.
You are not only a very kind person; you are stellar!!!
The beauty of thst kitten is breathtaking! What a blessing, huh? Thank you!
Nah. The Creator is just checking to see if your aim is accurate.
"Friend, I would not harm thee, but thou standest where I am about to shoot."
Yes.
The Creator probably gets ticked off at me for being spiteful
Probably.
about tire tracks and such.
No. 'Cause that's just - funny... ;-)
Now, if you were to find the mentioned slimy reprobate lying on the side of the road after developing acute tiretrackitis, it would be wrong of you to pass by on the other side without rendering aid. A story about some Samaritan guy comes to mind here. However, there's probably an extra cup or two of brownie points for resisting the urge to stomp on such a one while he's down. (Theology of the previous statement not verified, since I can't find brownie points in the Book... ;-)
According to the site, it’s a Bengal. That’s why he looks a little like Jake.
Hope everything’s well there. How are Chainsaw and Crowbar?
I could do Spiderman stuff.
And keep an eye (or seven) out for Cat Woman.
The thing I always heard about spiders is you are never more than three feet away from a spider. And down here I believe it, and honestly there are more of them at the place in Oregon.
But, none of those are tarantulas.
I've designed something I call "Eyes in the back of your head". But I've only given cursory attention to a character who had the ability to make threads and such. I'll need to think about that more.
Currently, the mammal champs of making spider-silk are ... goats. And they can't use it to rappel down a cliff or anything, it just comes out in their milk.
Most superpowers are actually inconvenient, as far as I can tell.
Superman!
"Strange visitor from another planet...",
I know how that must feel.
That’s why I’m surreptitious,
Whenever I bend steel.
We shouldn’t alarm the natives,
Just when does Superman sleep?
Now that they know his secret,
He has promises to keep.
Much better to stay quiet,
And work without the light.
No need to call attention,
To having X-ray sight.
Flying, of course, is forbidden,
Is it a bird or a plane?
It just makes complications,
That are much too hard to explain.
So all my powers are muted,
But I don’t have to fear in the storm,
At least I can quietly glance at my cup,
And keep my coffee warm!

Perfect, as usual! Thank you!
They couldn’t be better! Crowbar has turned into a little love-muffin, and Chainsaw has become an awesome watchdog! Thank you for asking!
