“Ventura Highway” is the only tune of theirs I’ll ever listen to by choice. I’ve heard wind ornaments on people’s porches that have more interesting singing voices. :’)
I used to work with an old WWII veteran; one day we were having a rare conversation and somehow got on the topic (or at least, he did) of his service (formerly I’m not sure I’d known about it). He served in North Africa, perhaps under Patton? Anyway, he said they got on a train in Morocco or somewhere, and chugged across the desert to the staging area. The trip took literally three weeks, nothing to see, little to do. :’)

Some of those stone-age humans were triple the size of cattle, impressive!

I remember an article (I think it was a different one) about those. Pretty amazing. Must be some plentiful food supply, perhaps arriving by air? Prolific fish population? Cannibal crocs? :’)
Costco has the NG DVD full collection (1888-to present, not sure if that means end of 2008 or what) available for $40. :’)

40 per cent of hydrocarbons in today's dust come from water-dependent plants. Pretty big bucket there. I assume they are talking about algae too? Are they including the sheath bacteria that live on the plants? The latter are important (particularly Pseudomonas syringae), as the surfactants they exude may play a key role in nucleating raindrops on the way to the Amazon.
We have a lot to learn when it comes to driving this bus.

Much the same could be said of most parts of the Middle East deserts. Not much to see or do in those deserts. I would say the American Southwest has more interesting deserts.
