This Is What Happens Next

Am I back? It's been a tough couple of months. Now I am spending the summer at my mother's house to get her affairs in order. I'm living with ghosts and it's hard to concentrate. It's been raining hard here and everything is wet, finally...tonight the frogs were out in force, so loud you could hear them with the windows closed.

Life goes on, I guess. At least for frogs.

Earth Science Bites the Dust at NASA

The space agency has shelved plans for satellites to more accurately measure weather and soil conditions, and to aid in the understanding of climate change, in order to shift more funds to the space station and a proposed moon re-landing. I guess that's so that we can hold the strategic high ground as we watch over a dying planet.

Hey, somebody's got to get the last drop of oil (clean water, clean air, microchip, order of nachos, what have you)...it might as well be us. Or some of us. You know who you are.
