Recent Mars Images (Marvin the Martian throws down the kaboom in a guest zot)

[aardwolf46]

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...

JPL uncensored video showing large-scale structure:

My brother in Scranton, PA, sent us a note saying the expect some snow before morning. He and his wife are coming here next week: he bought the tickets thinking next week was Thanksgiving.

Oh, well, the fares were lower, and it won’t be nearly as busy at the airport.

[Clinging Bitterly]

It is a place you want to be,
to be in the glow and one with it,
while you even know the cold and torment of days passed and yet to come,
for it survives,
this creation of God and man in such a place.

A slice of my home...

(I know the fellow who took this shot at daybreak about a week ago, of one of my favorite landmarks, this 120 year old light at Heceta Head. The verse came to me in a flash. And I never write verse.)

very nice picture

[Clinging Bitterly]

Such a place...

That is a great section of earth, I left there 35 years ago because I had to work for a living or something.

But I only have to do that for about another ten years and then I'll be going back (If I can't get there sooner somehow).

[Silentgypsy]

Glad you’re back! However, if you can explain it, it’s not the UT.

[NicknamedBob]

That’s a very stealthy little kitten. It’s sneaking around without a shadow.

[Tax-chick]

My dad is back in the ER this morning for a bladder problem. Mom and the aide are there now, and I’m headed over as soon as I unplug the coffee pot and feed the cat.

Can someone ping the general UT list for prayers? Thanks!

[Scoutmaster]

Nice.

I've read bad haiku.

A springtime ribbit
Awash in dump truck headlights --
Green gravel pancakes.

There once was a man
named Steve, who . . . oh no, that's wrong
That's a limerick.

[Monkey Face]

Hey, Ganag!

Tax-chick’s father is having some health problems, and she has asked that we send up some prayers for him.

Both she and her parents need all the support, faith and courage that we can provide.

[Monkey Face]

Done!

[Dead Corpse]

Prayers up...

[Col Freeper]

Prayers lifted.

[ArGee]

Reminds me of one of those old, “That’s good!” “No, that’s bad!” routines from Hee-Haw.

My son’s plan lost all its engines in mid-flight.

Thats’ bad!

No, that’s good! He had a parachute.

That’s good!

No, that’s bad! It wouldn’t open.

Oh, that’s bad!

No, that’s good! He was headed straight for a lake.

etc.

Off to surgery, BBL

[ArGee]

I like the tagline.

Just remember, only one thing in life really matters.

Unfortunately, I can’t remember what the one thing is, but I remember it’s the only thing that matters.

I wouldn’t wear shorts in NYC.
