I had one of those nights when nothing I could think of sounded good to eat, so I dropped in to Magnolia and had a very nummy squash soup and tilapia with mashed potatoes and asparagus and a green pepper that had been stuffed with cheesy goodness. For desert I had a banana split with caramelized bananas and four different ice creams and sauces....

I think my tummy shall explode.

Hi Gadget Girl!

Once upon a time there was a map that showed where we all lived. Not sure if it exists online anymore.

Hi Gadget_Girl!

OMG - Spiders on Mars!

SAN FRANCISCO—NASA scientists have discovered what might form some of the weirdest landscapes on Mars, winding channels carved into the Martian surface that scientists have dubbed "spiders," "lace" and "lizard skin."

The unusual landscape features form in an area of Mars' south pole called cryptic terrain because it once defied explanation.

But new observations from NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, presented here today at a meeting of the American Geophysical Union, bolster theories that the intricate patterns may be sculpted by springtime outbursts of carbon dioxide gas from underneath the frozen-carbon dioxide polar ice cap.
